Bermuda Associations and Non-Profit organizations, A-B Listing

Part one of a very long list with basic details on each

To refer to this web file, please use "bermuda-online.org/businessorgs.htm" as your Subject.

The organizations mentioned below are Bermuda Government (not British Government) registered as not for profit charities (shown below with their number, in bold). This is because they benefit a significant portion of the public; have a formal constitution; are not government (although some have government contracts, or receive some support from government); are self governing; have a volunteer governing board of unpaid trustees; have volunteers, although some have paid staff; are not political, although they may engage in political activity to promote their purpose; are not religious and do not discriminate if individuals don't accept their doctrine; do not distribute profits; and do not issue or sell stock. As a registered charity, an organization is usually more heavily favored by philanthropic individuals or organizations for giving or bequeathing funds.

In Bermuda, charities can be an unincorporated association, or a company limited by guarantee, or a company limited by shares, or a company incorporated by private act, or a trust. However, in recent years most were established as companies, particularly companies limited by guarantee, for the promotion of charitable purposes. Many individuals, often professionals, serve as volunteer directors or officers of registered charities. Individuals who accept these positions should be aware of and comply with the legal duties imposed upon them.

In April 2013 the Bermuda Government asked Bermuda’s charities to give their views on reform of the legislation governing the sector. A press statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs noted that despite the fact that “extensive charities policy development consultation” had taken place a year ago, the Minister wanted additional views. “The general policy aim is to amend the Charities Act 1978 to expand the definition of ‘charitable organisations’, to give the Charity Commissioners increased regulatory authority and to strengthen the reporting requirements for charities,” Home Affairs Minister Michael Fahy said. The original Charities Act was enacted in 1965 and repealed in 1979 and replaced with the current legislation. Since 1979 there has been a significant increase in the number of registered charities operating in Bermuda. There has also been a widening of scope of charitable purposes. According to the Ministry, a 2007 International Monetary Fund report on Bermuda, “Detailed Assessment Report on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism recommended that relevant authorities undertake a review of laws and regulations related to non-profit organisations, such as charities, to prevent them from being used for money-laundering or the financing of terrorist activities.” Bermuda's Charitable organisations had until April 17, 2013 to send in their views. In 2007 there were around 400 registered charities on the Island with revenues of around $84 million annually (not including the Bermuda Hospitals Board), according to the IMF’s research.

At January 1, 2013, there were 430 registered charities (RC) in Bermuda, or 1 for every 180 residents. It makes Bermuda the most densely populated registered charities centre per square mile in the world, in a territory the World Bank has declared the word's most affluent.
