To refer to this web file, please use "bermuda-online.org/businessorgs2.htm" as your Subject.

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, 2008, there were 354 registered charities (RC) in Bermuda, or 1 for every 186 residents. It makes Bermuda the most densely populated registered charities centre per square mile in the world.

It hosts public meetings in various venues around the Island for the purpose of receiving submissions, both orally and written, pros and cons, on any topic related to Independence. Commissioners present and accentuate a very slanted view for independence but will say very little against it, despite the internationally obvious shortcomings including refusal to give long-term residents citizenship and human rights wrongs. Most persons overseas say that when far bigger places such as Scotland, Wales, St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John, Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, Quebec, etc. don't want it, and if they ever did would want a referendum on it, how can tiny Bermuda justify it - and without a referendum? If they can justify it by size, surely parts of Bermuda deserve to be independent of other parts too? BIC advisor is Dame Lois Browne-Evans; BIC researcher is Philip Perinchief; and a BIC commissioner is Mike Winfield.

Bermuda Smart Risk	RC 586. Led by Dr. Joseph Froncioni, the founder of the charity, with Jennifer Attride-Stirling and Marcelo Ramella. They have compiled accident statistics and information from more than 3,500 accidents reported to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital (KEMH) in a two-year period. What they found was that at the age of 16 when many Bermudian teenagers are getting their first pair of wheels, they are also the most at risk of being in an accident. That risk only decreases after five years of driving as motorists become more used to the vehicle and their brains develop and they can assess the risk. These among other issues could be behind the 67 percent increase in road injuries sustained by residents since 1993. Because the majority of accidents result in head injuries, safer helmets, according to Dr. Froncioni, could save the majority of accident victims who report to the hospital with head injuries. Cracking down on helmet failure was just one of the recommendations that the group of researchers presented in their findings that came from a two-year study of cases at KEMH. Not only are Bermudian teenagers at high risk for injury, but also tourists in every age group are at more risk for injury than locals.

Bermudians Against the Draft (BAD)	Bermuda still has military conscription laws for men only, unlike Britain, Canada, the USA etc with no conscription at all. These inequities was defended by former Governor Sir John Vereker who said, wrongly, that there is no opposition to it. Campaigners fought without success to end compulsory military service. The court verdict was given in March 2008. Members hoped the outcome of their legal action would be a Supreme Court ruling outlawing the draft for good – but they have vowed to take the case all the way to the European Court of Justice if necessary. One fact that the court case did not either have or comment on was that Bermudians who were not born in Bermuda are not conscripted, only those born in Bermuda. Plus, it was wrong for the court to claim that sufficient attempts are made to attract volunteers. Are members of the regiment paid an average working salary? No. If there were, and it was advertised, perhaps more would volunteer. Another wrongdoing by government is that the employers of the men, not government, are expected to continue to pay their salaries or wages while they are absent on government-required military service.
Bermudians Against Narcotics (BAN)	New in 2005. Formed by a group of Muslim and Christian Bermudians, who wish to stop narcotics getting into the country and to raise awareness of the menace of drugs in Bermuda. Organizers Takbir Sharrieff and Clinton Muhammad said the Bermuda lifestyle as it was once known no longer exists, criminality is rampant and drugs are at the core of it. They feel there needs to be a concerted effort to establish a Drug Agency like in other countries to stem the rise in crime, which they attribute to drugs and a lack of Police presence.
Bermudians for Referendum (BFR)	A group believing strongly that the only truly democratic way for Bermuda to achieve political independence or retain the status quo is via a referendum not a majority vote of the legislature.
