Far North REAP is an Incorporated Society
About Incorporated Societies
In New Zealand, an incorporated society is a not-for-profit legal entity that allows groups to operate with their own separate legal identity. These societies are commonly used for community groups. They are governed by the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 and require at least 10 members.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Legal Entity:
An incorporated society is a legal entity, meaning it can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued, all under its own name.
Not-for-Profit:
These societies operate on a not-for-profit basis, meaning any money they make must be used to further their purposes, not for the benefit of individual members.
Membership:
A minimum of 10 members is required to form an incorporated society, and all members must consent to being members.
Governing Body:
Incorporated societies are managed by a committee (or governing body) with at least three officers, who are typically elected from the membership.
Purpose:
The society's purpose must be something other than running a business for profit. Examples include sports clubs, cultural groups, charities, and resident associations.
