<p>HI All,</p>
<p>On the subject of a Bank account and Non Profit Status, Our
Accessibility SIG was able to get our status through a tool that
many groups in the US use called Fiscal sponsorship. Fiscal
sponsorship refers to the practice of non-profit organizations
offering their legal and tax-exempt status to groups—typically
projects—engaged in activities related to the sponsoring
organization's mission. The main organization maintains the legal
and fiduciary responsibility for the sponsored organization. Other
countries probably have a similar tool. What this allows for is
for an established non-profit to provide fiscal sponsorship to a
related organization that shares several of the same goals. In our
case ISOC NY graciously offered to be our Fiscal Sponsor. We
signed a legal agreement with them and they opened up a separate
bank account for us to use. <br>
</p>
<p>In the US this concept of Fiscal sponsorship is widely used by
many, many similar groups whether they are in Tech, or any other
sector it is pretty common. <br>
</p>
<p>I have heard that in France there is something similar called
Hosted Foundations and perhaps these type of arrangements should
be looked into more by other Chapters or SIGS.<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

Dear all, <br class="">
<br class="">
The Chapter Admin Funding programme is there to support the
Chapter’s day to day running of the Chapter itself.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While the Admin funding programme was launched in
Oct 2016 with an application deadline in Dec 2016, the programme
always closed in either May or June in the following years. <br
class="">
<br class="">
The main reasons for closing it in June are: <br class="">
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• feedback
we have received from Chapters is that they would like to
receive their Admin Funding in the first part of the year to
be able to carry out their plans throughout the year.<br
class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• budget
management and visibility (it’s is a large total amount of
money to allocate without knowing how many Chapters will
apply)<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• end
of year accounting volume – there is a tendency for Chapters
to apply at deadline. Over the past years, we typically
received 70% of the Chapter applications within the last 3
days before the deadline, and this across the various Chapter
funding programmes. If the programme closes towards the end of
the year, this means a considerable number of invoices that
need to be paid on top of normal end of year closing.<br
class="">
</div>
<br class="">
Last year, we opened a 2nd round of Chapter Admin Funding to
accommodate particular circumstances faced by the Chapters.
Based on the feedback here, we will look into opening a second
round later in the year for 2020 too. And, as mentioned in my
earlier message, we will have a look at the overall funding
schedule for next year.</div>
<div class=""> <br class="">
In the meantime, 73% of Chapters have successfully submitted
their applications for 2020 by the 30 June deadline and we will
work with the Chapters who faced challenges to submit their
applications on time due to the very difficult
global circumstances to identify solutions. Please reach out to
Stine Philipsen <<a href="mailto:philipsen@isoc.org" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">philipsen@isoc.org</a>> over the
next two weeks if this is your Chapter’s case. <br class="">
<br class="">
Also, concerning the need for a bank account on the name of the
Chapter: </div>
<div class="">What the Chapter Charter Letter says is that the
Chapter agrees to “Establish a bank account or other equivalent
financial account in the name of the Chapter to receive and
disburse funds, including funding provided by the Internet
Society.” (see point 3.1.V <a
href="https://www.internetsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2018-2020-ISOC_Chapter_Charter_Agreement-Apr2020.pdf"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">
https://www.internetsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2018-2020-ISOC_Chapter_Charter_Agreement-Apr2020.pdf</a>)</div>
<div class="">Any "equivalent financial account" would have to be
legal and secure (and auditable), and the Chapter would need to
make and receive payments to and from it in the name of the
Chapter as a legal organization.
<div class="">
<div class=""> <br class="">
Wyn, to your question: <br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">In this vein, i am also
seeking clarification of your second bullet point below --
"For Chapters in a country where legal registration is not
necessary to open a bank account in the official name of
the Chapter ..." -- is this worded correctly (with the
"not); or should that instead read -- "For Chapters in a
country where legal registration is necessary to open a
bank account in the official name of the Chapter ...". <br
class="">
</blockquote>
<br class="">
This is not a typo. In most cases, a local legal
registration is needed for the bank to be able to open a
bank account in the name of the Chapter. However, in some
countries it is possible to constitute a group that doesn’t
need a legal registration in order to be able to open a
Chapter bank account. In South Africa for example, it is
possible to create "Voluntary Associations" that can open
bank accounts in the name of their entity without any formal
legal registration. Chapters who operate in a similar legal
context are invited to reach out to us by contacting Stine
Philipsen (<a href="mailto:philipsen@isoc.org" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">philipsen@isoc.org</a>) to discuss
their particular case. <br class="">
<br class="">
I hope this helps clarify some of the points raised.</div>

<p class="">ISOC London was informal as it became ISOC
England which did formalise in 1999 before it became a
chartered chapter (there was already a formal ISOC

<p class="">A sufficient stable revenue that would at

<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">So far that has happened according to plan.</p>
<p class="">One thought I've had that might help with
chartered but informally structured chapters.
<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">ISOC regional offices could set up a regional
secretariat entity that was managed by ISOC staff with
chapter leadership engagement to handle the financial
formalities for informal chapters.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">With grants managed from that with chapter
and ISOC trustee oversight. It should satisfy concerns
for accountability and getting the money doing useful
things?</p>
<p class="">If an informal chapter starts to get viable
longer term support locally that will allow it to
sustain its own structure and governance then it can
always do that at a later date.

<div class="">In the case of the
Chennai Chapter, we have opted NOT
to incorporate, because
incorporation / formation as an
NGO / Trust requires systematic
paperwork, filing of monthly /
quarterly reports or what we call
"returns" and might involve visits
to one or more Government offices,
additional procedures for
receiving / sending money from /
to accounts outside the country.
That makes it difficult for a
Chapter of volunteers to commit to
such processes that might require
a Chapter Accountant, and in
addition would require the Chapter
to engage the services of a
Chartered Accountant and in some
cases a Lawyer. Professionals
with a sense of responsibility,
commitment and thoroughness, who
also have a sense of
Accountability are expensive in
terms of the fee payable. As a
Chapter, who have handled a sum
total of about $ 6000 in 12 years,
it was unwise to seek to commit to
these processes, which would have
required us to spend about $5000 a
year in professional fees alone
merely to meet the compliance
requirements. The $ 5000 / year
indicated here is arbitrary, one
could argue that there are
professionals of lesser standards
who can be engaged at about $500 a
year or even less (not denying
that the fee charged is not always
a measure of the standards of
service extended, but it is often
true that reliable services
require a good outlay for
professional fees); It can also
be argued that much more than $
5000 a year is to be set aside
towards professional fees, and
even additional provisions may be
required for legal services; With
this rationale, though not
conclusively decided not to
incorporate in some form, we have
been hesitating; We do have a
bank account, though I am not
saying this to ask for admin
funding right now.</div>

<p class="">Thank you for your comprehensive reply
Christine. <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">During the campaign for signing by all
Chapters of the Chapter Letter, correct me if i
misheard or do not remember correctly, but i
distinctly recall your mentioning that
alternative procedures would be made available
for those Chapters in countries where a bank
account requires full incorporation. I mention
this again as in some developing countries such
a registration, particularly for non-profit
entities, is extremely onerous. This is does not
just entail red-tape and the usual mandatory
regulatory requirements, but the surrender of
personal privacy; for example a requirement that
all officers of such an entity sign waivers
allowing scrutiny of all personal bank accounts.
In a country where there is reasonable rule of
law, this may perhaps be barely reasonable. In a
country where the government can and does
"weaponize" the law, this represents a
significant risk and threat against the officers
of such an entity.
<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">In this vein, i am also seeking
clarification of your second bullet point below
-- "<i class="">For Chapters in a country where
legal registration is
<b class="">not</b> necessary to open a bank
