Some organizations are Bermuda Government (but not British Government) registered as not for profit charities (and 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.
At January 1, 2007, there were 408 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.

| Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Bermuda |  Following an
idea hatched in 2004, 16 Bermuda-based pilots formed and activated Vector Ltd
in 2006 to
lease US plane Cessna N2148R - see photo below - for some months. All 16 are members of AOPA.
They had hoped for years to be able to use in Bermuda a light airplane retrofitted with
a new technology diesel engine that burns jet fuel or diesel, and uses only half the fuel of the Avgas
engines. The aircraft arrived in October 2006. Vector’s 2003 model
Cessna 172 - pictured here - is a German-made, US-registered
Thielert Centurion 1.7, 125 HP, jet A-1burning, compression ignition
engine. It arrived from Epic Aviation, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, having
flown non-stop on standard tanks from Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
Flight time was approximately 5 hours. The Thielert offers FADEC (full
authority digital engine control) computer diagnostics, a three-bladed
constant speed propeller, and a turbocharger with intercooler. Best of
all, it uses locally available jet fuel. Bermuda was - and still is - one of the very few
places in the developed world and perhaps the only place referring to
itself as a major international business center where Avgas is not available
and tourists do not have a chance to see Bermuda by air from a local
perspective using any any light aircraft requiring Avgas. In contrast,
airports throughout the Caribbean (for example, Bahamas, St. Lucia,
Antigua, Grenada, Jamaica, etc) have allowed this and have the
facilities to provide the fuel, some for over 40 years. This new
technology aircraft finally offers qualified Bermudians and other
non-military persons with commercial or private flying licenses a chance to fly
locally and to take pictures of Bermuda from the air. It is the
first local light general aviation flying in Bermuda for over 50 years. (The US Navy and before it the USAF at Kindley USAF Bermuda
(also
Royal Navy base and Canadian Forces Station
staff also in Bermuda then were allowed to use it too) used to have a flying
club until the US bases were closed in Bermuda in 1995 but until October
2006 the Bermuda Government disallowed locals from any such flying in Bermuda). AOPA has been working closely with FAA to ease such restrictions on all general aviation and because the FAA has done so, Bermuda had to do the same. This waiver is another incremental step in restoring general aviation access to the National Airspace System. This latest waiver also allows aircraft registered in Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and British Virgin Islands, along with Canadian, Mexican, and Bahamian-registered aircraft, to operate in the USA in the same way as and with no more restrictions than USA-registered aircraft. |

| Bermudian Canadian Association (BCA) in Toronto | Its 25th anniversary celebrations in late 2006 were heralded by a gala dinner dance. More than 200 guests attended the event at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Toronto, including over thirty members and friends of the Pembroke Community Club’s (PCC) Terpsichorean Dance Group. The celebration had the personal blessing of the Mayor of Toronto, David Miller, and Premier of Ontario Province, Mr. Dalton McGuinty. Its first meeting was held in Scarborough, Ontario, initially as the Bermuda Social Club, with their first activity a Guy Fawkes party in November 1981. Its success helped them decide to change the name to the Bermudian Canadian Association. Its logo is a Bermuda Moongate encircled by the name of the association set against a background of palm trees with long tails flying over what looks like a lush green and white depiction of Horseshoe Beach. The Bermuda and Canadian flags fly on each side of the Moongate. |

| Bermuda Council on Aging (BCA) | Formed in late 2006 after four year's work, in response to a growing awareness that Bermuda's population is growing older – and this has social, health and economic implications for seniors as well as all other demographic groups on the island. A group of dedicated citizens are researching the needs of seniors in Bermuda and want to convert the results into a plan of action that looks to the future. The needs of seniors have attracted the attention of Government, employers, charities, and concerned citizens alike. A steering committee was formed under the co-chairmanship of Jonathan Brewin and Ralph Richardson and, in June 2006, Marian Sherratt, the local coordinator for the Fordham research project, was engaged as executive director. The purpose is to bring together Government, the private sector, the charitable sector, and the community at large, to identify and help develop appropriate policies and programmes; to research and report on key issues; and to build community awareness of its ageing population. According to the 2000 Census, 11 percent of Bermuda's population is already older than 65, and the Department of Statistics estimates that this will double to 22 percent by 2030. It is important that the image of older persons is projected in a positive manner so that their continuing contributions to society are recognised and fostered. For those less independent older persons, adequate care and protection becomes the responsibility of a caring and just society. |
