Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Non-profit organization in Yukon?
A Non-profit organization in Yukon is an entity formed to carry out activities for social, cultural, educational, religious, or charitable purposes, not to earn profit for its members. Any profit earned must be used to support the organization’s objectives.
Whatโs the difference between a Non-profit and a charity?
Agency (CRA) and is eligible to issue tax receipts for charitable donations.
A regular not-for-profit cannot issue tax receipts and has wider objectives, including sports clubs, cultural organizations, or community associations.
What are the benefits of incorporating as a Non-profit in Yukon?
Limited liability protection for directors and members
Legal recognition and credibility
Ability to enter into contracts, own property, and receive grants
Continuity regardless of changes in membership
How much does it cost to incorporate a non-profit in Yukon?
The government fee is $1299 if you file directly online through the Yukon Business Registry. Third-party services may charge more for convenience (and moral support).ย incorporate your company and email the Certificate and Articles of incorporation to you.
Do I have to file anything every year?
Yes! Yukon non-profits must file an Annual Return, keep corporate records updated, and may need to file taxes depending on activities. Youโll also want to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) unless you’re exempt.
Can I convert a non-profit into a for-profit company later?
Nope! Once a non-profit, always a non-profit. If you want to switch gears into entrepreneurship, youโll need to incorporate a new for-profit business separately.
Do I need a lawyer to incorporate a non-profit in Yukon?
Itโs not required, but itโs a good ideaโespecially if you’re planning to apply for charitable status. Canada Incorporation Agency has a team of professional lawyers and filing agents that can help you out with the paperwork for your Non-Profit. Bylaws, governance, and CRA compliance can get complicated. Or use a professional service to make life easier.
Do I need bylaws?
Absolutely! Bylaws are the rules for how your organization will runโthink of them as your corporate playbook. You’ll need to adopt them within 60 days of incorporating. They donโt need to be filed, but they do need to exist (and actually be followed).
Can I make money in a non-profit?
Yes, but any profit must be used to advance the organizationโs goalsโnot to line your pockets. You can pay staff and contractors, but your board members typically can’t receive profit distributions.
