Articles of Association For Nonprofit Organization is a mandatory legal document required when establishing a nonprofit organization (ASBL/VZW) in Belgium. This document must comply with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (CCA) and contains essential information about the organization's identity, purpose, and governance structure. It is typically drafted during the formation phase of a nonprofit and requires notarization before being filed with the Belgian Enterprise Court. The document serves multiple purposes: it establishes the organization's legal existence, provides a framework for governance and operations, defines relationships between members and governing bodies, and ensures compliance with Belgian nonprofit regulations. Regular updates may be needed to reflect significant changes in the organization's structure or operations, subject to formal amendment procedures and registration requirements.
