FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Founding an independent nonprofit in Israel involves registering with the Registrar of Associations, drafting bylaws, and appointing a board and audit committee - and for donations to be tax-recognized, you also need a Proper Management certification and Section 46(a) approval, a process that can take two years or more. Community O already holds all the required approvals and registrations - so your initiative operates under our legal, financial and operational umbrella from day one, without founding a separate entity and without waiting for approvals.
Registering an independent nonprofit can take a few months - but that's just the beginning. Obtaining Proper Management certification and Section 46א approval (which makes donations tax-recognized) can take up to two years. Through Community O, your initiative is operating and able to receive tax-recognized donations within weeks - because we already hold these approvals, and your initiative operates under them.
No. Donations to the initiative are made to Community O and designated solely for the initiative's activity - so you can raise tax-recognized donations without founding your own nonprofit.
We are. Transparent financial management - reports, donation and cash flow tracking, audited and professional - is part of the infrastructure we provide to every initiative, alongside ongoing legal counsel.
Plug-and-play infrastructure enabling immediate operation without founding a nonprofit, ongoing handling of reporting and legal counsel, transparent financial management of donations and cash flow, and strategic guidance from a team spanning philanthropy, academia, government and business.
For donors who want to launch high-impact philanthropic initiatives, foundations developing ventures and partnerships, social entrepreneurs from all sectors, and organizations building cross-sector initiatives.
Yes - you lead the content, vision and activity of the initiative. Community O provides the infrastructure behind the scenes so you can focus on impact.
