Starting a nonprofit organization in UAE? We can help you

How does one go about registering a non profit organisation or association in Dubai?

As its name indicates, a non profit organisation is an organization that is not created for the purpose of generating financial benefit for its members. In a monetary sense, the Non-Profit organization makes use of the excess of their money in order to accomplish their goal. In most cases, their activities are conducted for the aims of scientific investigation, educational research, or both.

How can non-governmental organizations (NGOs) become started or incorporated in Dubai?

Any business that has the intention of establishing a non profit organisation in Dubai is required to either be registered in one of the countries with which the United Arab Emirates has political ties or to be a subsidiary of one of the United Nations’ organizations. In addition to this, the Association need to host professional events.

Where Can I Register My non profit organisation in Dubai?

In the Dubai Knowledge Village neighborhood known as the International Humanitarian City zone, it is also possible to establish non profit organisation. Only via the branch registration of preexisting permits are organizations permitted to be founded in any of these free zones. For the authority’s approval, the firm must be operational for at least a year and provide financial statements that have been subjected to independent auditing.

The kinds of non profit organisation in Dubai are as described below.

• Social club
• Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (often known as NGOs)

Registering a social club in Dubai

Just like any other type of Dubai company, the association must also have, a trade name, a memorandum and articles of association and must appoint a management board. Apart from these, the following documents must be filed with the CDA upon the registration of the social club:

• an application form issued by the CDA;

Also, social clubs may be divided into two categories: social care facilities and social club event organizations. For each type of foundation, a special license must be obtained with the CDA. The association will apply for the license based on the activities it will undertake. The social care facility or the social club event license can be obtained by a non profit organisation in Dubai.
