6. Dissolution

If the Company is dissolved, the assets remaining after satisfaction of all debts and liabilities shall not be paid to or distributed among the members but shall be given or transferred to another charitable body having objects similar to those of BrightPath Community Trust, to be determined by the members at the time of dissolution.

Why nonprofit businesses need a memorandum of association

Incorporating a nonprofit business requires a memorandum of association that accurately defines the company's objects and powers for the nonprofit sector. The objects clause must be broad enough to cover all planned nonprofit operations while satisfying company registration requirements. Getting this wrong can restrict future business activities or create compliance issues with industry regulators.

There are over 1.8 million registered nonprofits in the United States alone.
