Legal Support for Your Memorandum of Incorporation for NPOs
If you are in the process of establishing a non-profit organisation (NPO) in South Africa, drafting a legally sound Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) is one of the most critical steps. This founding document outlines the governance framework of your NPO, including its objectives, membership rules, board structure, and compliance obligations.
At Burger Huyser Attorneys, we specialise in providing comprehensive legal services tailored to non-profits. Our expert team ensures that your MOI is aligned with the Companies Act and the unique goals of your organisation.

Our legal professionals ensure that your Memorandum of Incorporation reflects your NPO’s specific objectives while complying with statutory requirements. We handle everything from initial drafting to final submission.
Legal Compliance and Registration
We ensure your NPO meets the legal standards set by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) and the Department of Social Development. A properly prepared MOI is essential for a smooth registration process.
Strategic Structuring
Whether you’re establishing a small local NPO or a larger charitable organisation, we help structure your MOI to support effective governance and long-term success.
Why Your NPO Needs a Legally Sound MOI
The MOI serves as the legal backbone of your organisation. Here’s why professional guidance is crucial:
- Defines Roles and Responsibilities: Clarifies the powers and duties of directors and members.
- Ensures Legal Compliance: Prevents future disputes or penalties from non-compliance with South African law.
- Boosts Credibility: A well-structured MOI enhances your reputation and opens doors to funding and partnerships.
