Obtaining the status of nonprofit organization requires certain professional skills, knowledge and free time. The most important feature for the nonprofit organization is the charter of this legal entity. Moreover, charters often contain common mistakes.

This happens quite often, and in such situations it is better to apply to highly qualified specialist. The expert lawyers of our organization can perform a preliminary audit of the customer’s charter before submitting an application and necessary documentation. This is necessary for the certificate of profitability of the organization to be issued in due time. Therefore, the most reasonable solution for the customer would be to appeal to the specialists of "Zakon Lviv" company.

The type of nonprofit organization is a number that is assigned to it. This number refers to the category of the organization.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to obtain nonprofit status in Ukraine?
The state registrar's registration fee itself is 0 UAH when filed via Diia on a model charter; legal fees depend on the entity type (NGO, charity, association) and document complexity. Contact Zakon Lviv for an exact quote based on your case.
What documents are needed to register a nonprofit organization?
You need a charter (model or custom), founders' minutes, a registration application, and identification documents of founders and the head; charities also require a program of activity. Foreign founders' documents must be legalized or apostilled and translated.
How long does nonprofit registration take in Ukraine?
State registration in the Unified State Register (USR) via a state registrar or TsNAP typically takes up to 24 hours once documents are filed correctly; entry into the Register of Non-Profit Institutions and Organizations follows as a separate step, usually within a few working days.
Can a foreigner establish and lead a nonprofit organization in Lviv?
Yes, a foreign national can be a founder or head of a Ukrainian nonprofit organization; a Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP) and, for signing in person, either a notarized power of attorney or a Diia-verified e-signature are usually required. We advise on the specific steps for non-resident founders.
Do I need separate non-profit (tax-exempt) status besides USR registration?
Yes. USR state registration creates the legal entity, while inclusion in the Register of Non-Profit Institutions and Organizations, maintained by the State Tax Service of Ukraine under the Tax Code, is a separate step required for tax-exempt non-profit status; both steps must be completed correctly for full non-profit tax treatment.
