If you want to run a business that promotes art, science, religion, charity, or some other socially beneficial object, and does not have the goal of making a profit, you would likely set up a Non-Profit Organization. If you do not want to run a business but have a philanthropic, charitable, provident, scientific, artistic, educational, sporting, agricultural, or other socially beneficial goal you would likely set up a Society. They can each own property and assets, potentially exist forever, and limits liability for its members. These organizations can be as small as a handful of people operating out of a home and as big as Alberta Health Services. If you have a charitable dream, our team would love to assist in bringing your dream to life.
