EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Nonprofit Organisations Act 71 of 1997 (NPO Act) was enacted to establish an administrative and regulatory framework within which nonprofit organisations can conduct their affairs through a registration facility. This report is issued in terms of section 25 of the NPO Act that aims to increase accessibility to information on registered Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs).
An NPO is defined, in terms of section 1 of the NPO Act, as a trust, company or other association of persons established for a public purpose and of which its income and property are not distributable to its members or office bearers except as reasonable compensation for services rendered. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and community based organisations (CBOs) are collectively known as nonprofit organisations (NPOs).
To apply for registration as a NPO, organisations fill-in a prescribed application form and submit it to the Department of Social Development with two copies of the organisation’s founding document i.e. a constitution for a volunteer association; memorandum and articles of association with the company’s registration letter for a not-for-profit company; and a deeds of trust with the trustees authorisation letter for a trust. The founding document of the organisation must meet the requirements of section 12 of the NPO Act.
Over the years, there has been a significant increased demand on the NPO registration. By the end of June 2012, the total number of registered organisations was 85 039 since the inception of the NPO Act. For the last five years, there has been a steady growth rate of almost 14% per annual on the NPO Register. During the same period, 12.1% of registered NPOs were de-registered.
Gauteng province has the most number of registered NPO at 32% followed by KwaZulu Natal with 20% and Limpopo at 11% and Limpopo at 11% respectively. The Northern Cape has the less number of NPOs with 2%.
Registered NPOs are grouped, accordingly to the International Classification of Nonprofit Organisations (ICNPO), Appendix 1, which also include the number of registered NPOs since the enactment of the NPO Act up until end of June 2012. Social Services is the leading sector (40%) followed by the community development and housing sector (20%). The religion sector follows with 12%, Heath sector at 11% and Education and Research sector dropped from 11% to 7% and the International organisations (0.1%) are the less number of registered NPOs.

The financial data is captured based on the financial fields provided by Statistics SA. The provided information is for captured reports for 2008, 2009 and 2010, which include the income and expenditure by province and sector.
By the end of June 2012, the Department received 21 184 applications from organisations seeking registration status. On average the Department received about 71 applications per day. Most of the applications come from Gauteng (28%), KwaZulu Natal (15%) and Western Cape (14%). The Northern Cape submitted the less number of applications (3%).
Of total number of applications received from 01st April 2011-30th June 2012, 14 651 (69%) were eventually registered and 6 533 (31%) did not met the requirements of sections 12-13 of the NPO Act to be registered.
It is evident that as much as registration is voluntary, a large number of organisations choose to register as a nonprofit organisation and be accountable to a public office that holds information of registered NPOs in custodian to members of the public to access.
The Department of Social Development, through the office of the Director for Nonprofit Organisations had prior to 2005 and to date developed and implemented on an ongoing basis intervention measures aimed at improving compliance levels of registered Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs). Capacity building interventions has been conducted in collaboration with the Provincial departments.
INTRODUCTIONSouth African Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) play a very significant role in nourishing our young democracy and addressing the needs of vulnerable communities and groups. These organisations are characterized by a wide variety of organisations of different sizes and shapes across the political, economic and social spectrum of society.
Recognizing the invaluable role of the nonprofit sector (CSOs) in our society, the South African government, like any other modern democratic government, has created an enabling legal environment to support and encourage the formation of organisations. This legal framework is rooted in the fundamental human rights culture of the country’s Constitution.

State of South African NPO Register
The right to freedom of religion, belief and opinion; of expression and; of association as contained in the Bills of Rights is essential for the civil society formations. This means that everyone has the right to associate with other people and form organisations and express themselves in whatever way they choose provided that this is done in compliance with existing laws. Recent international and national studies recognised that South African legislative framework on NPOs is the most progressive international and thus match the international good standards and practices for an enabling environment on civil society.
The Nonprofit Organisations Act 71 of 1997 (NPO Act) is the primary legislation within the legal framework for NPOs. The main purpose of the NPO Act is to create an enabling environment in which NPOs can flourish and to establish an administrative and regulatory framework within which organisations can conduct their affairs. Specifically, the Act aimed at encouraging NPOs to maintain adequate standards of governance, transparency and accountability and to create an environment within which the public may have access to information on registered organisations.
This report is issued in terms of section 25 of the NPO Act that aims to increase accessibility to information on registered NPOs. This report entails a synoptic analysis of the non-profit organisations that have chosen to register in terms of the NPO Act. It relates the size and scope of registered NPOs by sector and province.
2. DEFINING A NONPROFIT ORGANISATIONNonprofit Organisations is an associated term for civil society organisations that range from faith and community based organisations, charities (welfare), traditional organisations like social and sports clubs, and a host of other development and social forms of organisations working tirelessly on the social fabric of society. These organisations are commonly referred to as non-governmental organisations (NGOs), community based organisations (CBOs) and faith based organisations (FBOs).
Section 1 (x) of the Nonprofit Organisations Act 71 of 1997 defines an NPO as a trust, company or other association of persons that is has been established for a public purpose and the income and property of which are not to be distributed to its members or office bearers except as reasonable compensation for service rendered.
This definition makes provision for organisations that have been established in terms of the Trust Property Controls Act of 1982 as amended (Nonprofit Trusts), the Companies Act of 2008 (not-for-profit incorporated companies) or in terms of Common Law (voluntary associations).

State of South African NPO Register
Voluntary associations are usually coupled with CBOs as they are traditionally informal types of organisations that are rooted in communities they serve. Nonprofit Trusts and not-for-profit incorporated companies are usually NGOS that are much more sophisticated and are mostly urban based organisations that have a reach beyond their immediate geographical office base.
The NPO Act therefore provides a much needed registration facility for all these organisations thus creating a central depository of all registered nonprofit organisations that is accessible to the public.
3. THE NPO ACT AND ITS REGISTRATION FACILITYThe Department of Social Development is responsible for the implementation of the NPO Act. A Directorate for Nonprofit Organisations has been established, in terms of section 4, to administer the provisions of the Act. The core business of this Directorate is essential to provide an efficient registration facility for organisations and to ensure accessibility to records of registered organisations. The registration standards and procedures including the obligations of registered NPOs are articulated within the NPO Act.
This section gives an overview on the legislative requirements for registration, compliance and the de-registration/cancelling of organisation from the NPO register. It also focuses on the appeals against refusal to register and cancellation of registration.
3.1 NPO Registration RequirementsEvery organisation that seeks to register as an NPO in terms of sections 12 and 13 of the NPO Act submit a constitution (founding document) and a completed prescribed application form that contains the organisation’s contact and the office bearers’ details.
Section 13 (2) obligates the NPO Directorate to complete the assessment of each application within two months. Applications that meet the requirements are registered in terms of section 15 of the NPO Act and those that do not meet the requirements are returned to the applicants with advice on how to meet the requirements.
3.2 NPO Compliance RequirementsOnce the organisation is registered, it is obligated, in terms of sections 18 and 19, to submit within nine months after the end of its financial year, annual reports (a narrative report, annual financial statement and an accounting officer’s report) including any changes to the organisation’s constitution, physical address and office bearers.

State of South African NPO Register
A registered NPO is also obligated to comply with material provision of its constitution, failure the nonprofit organization shall be referred to the South African Police Service for criminal investigation if satisfied that any noncompliance may constitute an offence.
3.3 Cancelled Registration/DeregistrationIn terms of section 21, registered NPOs that do not comply with the reporting requirements of the NPO Act are cancelled. However, section 20 requires that a non-compliance notice of 30 days should first be sent to the organisation to give it an opportunity to ratify its status before cancellation can be effected. Failure to comply with this notice, an organisation registration status is cancelled in terms of section 21 for the NPO Act.
A registered NPO may also voluntarily deregister in terms of section 23(1) or dissolve in terms of section 23(2) of the Act. In this case the NPO must provide a 30 days’ notice of the intention to deregister or dissolve.
Once an organisation has been cancelled, deregistered or dissolved, as the case may be, it is a criminal offence, in terms of section 29, for any such organisation to represent itself as being validly registered in terms of the NPO Act. The offense is also extended to a person(s) using the registration number of another organisation’s and making any false representation in any report submitted to in terms of this Act. A person(s) convicted for these offences is liable to a fine or to imprisonment or to both fine and imprisonment, in terms of section 30 of the NPO Act.
3.4 AppealsA nonprofit organisation may appeal against refusal to register, in terms of section 14 and cancellation of registration, in terms of Section 22. The appeals are referred for arbitration to the Directorate for consideration by an Arbitration Tribunal. Within three months after receipt of the relevant items, the Arbitration Tribunal must consider the arbitration in the prescribed manner and send a written notice of its decision to the appellant and to the director, stating the reasons for the decision.
The NPO Act requires the Minister to appoint Panel of Arbitrators and prescribe the terms and conditions of appointment of members of the panel of arbitrators. For the purposes of this Act, an Arbitration Tribunal maybe composed of not more than three members of the panel of arbitrators appointed by the chairperson.

4. THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF REGISTER NONPROFIT ORGANISATIONSThe Department is obligated in terms of section 24 of the NPO Act to keep a register all those NPOs that have registered and of those that have being cancelled in terms of this Act. The Department is also obligated to make this listing available to members of the public.
By the end of June 2012, a total of 85 039 NPOs were registered on the national database. This section provides a synoptic analysis on the growth rate comparatively over the past 5 years, which focuses on different financial years. It also focuses on the types of organisations registered and in what are they involved.
4.1 Annual Growth Rate of Registered NPOsOver the years, there has been a significant increased demand on the NPO registration. For example, the chart below indicate that the register of NPO (database) has increase from 49 826 registered organisations in 2007/08, 55 341 registered organisations in 2008/09, 65 633 registered organisations in 2009/10 to 75 175 registered organisations in 2010/11. By the end of March 2012, the total number of registered organisations was 85 248. These increases translated into an average growth rate of almost 14% annually.

The levels of deregistered NPOs in provinces contend with the number of registration in the provinces as illustrated on chart 4. Although, Gauteng has the highest registered NPOs with 32% and has also the highest deregistered NPOs at 35%, which is similar case with Free State and North West. For Eastern Cape and Northern Cape there is evenness between the two variables. KwaZulu Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape have a low percentage of deregistration compared to the high percentage of registered NPOs.

6. 01ST APRIL 2011 TO 30TH JUNE 2012 REPORT The report will cover the period 1st April 2011 to 30th June 2012 and will focus on the analysis of the NPO register, i.e. the distribution of NPOs per type, objective classification, district municipalities and provinces.
6.1 New applications received and registered OrganisationsFor the period 01st April 2011 to 30th June 2012, the Department received 21 184 applications from organisations seeking registration status. This therefore means that on average, the Department received 1 412 applications per month amounting to an average of 71 applications per day.
Of the annual total applications received, 14 651(69%) ultimate met the requirements and were registered. In other words, 49 organisations on average are registered on a daily basis. The chart below depicts the number of applications received and registered per province.
Chart 5: Comparison of received vs. registered
As illustrated, most of the applications are from Gauteng (26%), KwaZulu Natal and Eastern Cape with 16%, followed by Western Cape (13%) and Limpopo (11%), respectively. The other province received less than 10% of the total number of received applications, Mpumalanga (6%), Free State and North West (5%) and the Northern Cape with the least submitted application with 3%. The same can also be concluded with regard to the rate of provincial registration of NPOs.
16
State of South African NPO Register
This graph further suggest that there is a high probability of Eastern Cape and Northern Cape applications not getting register at the first attempt of applying due to the number of applications received that do not meet the registration requirements. Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga have a much higher success rate on applications meeting the requirements.
6.2 Distribution of registered and deregistered/Cancelled NPOs by Province

During the mentioned period, 14 651 organisation were registered, and 4 648 registered NPOs were deregistered due to non-compliance, as illustrated in Table 7. The levels of deregistered NPOs in provinces mirror the number of registration in the provinces.

6.3 Type of registered organisationA registered NPO can either be a Voluntary Association, nonprofit incorporated company in terms of the Company Act, or a Trust. Chart 4 below indicates the type of registered NPO.
Majority of registered NPOs are Voluntary Associations (98%) whereas nonprofit incorporated companies (section 21 companies) consist of 1% and nonprofit Trusts are 1%.

6.4 Classification of NPOsRegistered NPOs are grouped, informed by their founding documents mission and objectives, accordingly to the International Classification of Nonprofit Organisations (ICNPO). Table 7 and Chart 7 below indicate the number and percentage of NPOs operating in different sectors.

Chart 7: % Registered NPOs per Classification
Social Services is the leading sector (47%) followed by Development and housing sector (18%) and Religion with 12%. International organisations (0.1%) are the less number of registered NPOs.
6.5 Distribution per District MunicipalityThe NPO register uses postal codes to allocate towns and provinces and does not make provision for districts or local municipalities. The data was linked to the SAGNC placename database to get the allocation of NPOs per district municipalities. There are only 11 143 NPOs linked to the database, meaning the information is 76% accurate.

7. CAPACITY BUILDING INTERVENTIONThe Department of Social Development, through the office of the Director for Nonprofit Organisations had prior to 2005 and to date developed and implemented on an ongoing basis intervention measures aimed at improving compliance levels of registered Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs). Capacity building interventions has been conducted in collaboration with the Provincial departments of Social Development and local government. These training interventions covered areas including applying for NPO registration, compliance matters in terms of the NPO Act, as well as issues of good management and governance. The interventions targeted Community Development Practitioners (CDPs), NPOs that are funded by provincial departments, and those supported and or working together with different units within the National Department of Social Development (DSD). Furthermore, the training was offered to member organizations of Networking structures and other National bodies that had requested it. 7.1 Training for Community Development Practitioners (Train-a-Trainer Programme) In response to the challenges facing the NPO sector, the NPO Directorate within DSD, as mandated by section 5(b) of the NPO Act, designed and implemented a Train a Trainer (T-a-T) programme for the provincial Community Development Practitioners (CDPs) in 2005. The CDPs are a cadre of community development workers employed by various government departments and are entrusted with establishing development partnerships with communities. Well over a thousand CDPs from across the nine provinces had participated in the T-a-T and the programme still continues for new CDP recruits and as a refresher course for those of the previously trained CDPs that still needed the training. The programme is aimed at strengthening the capacity of CDPs, through intensive training, to be able to support nonprofit organisations in their endeavour to register and maintain registration as NPOs in compliance with the NPO Act. The T-a-T programme was driven by a general lack of capacity within the NPOs to manage their affairs and maintaining good corporate governance, particularly among CBOs. Furthermore, there was and still remains in general an unacceptable large numbers of applications for NPO registration that were being constantly rejected due to non-compliance to section 12 (2) requirements for registration. There was also an equally unacceptable large number of registered NPOs being cancelled due to non-compliance with the basic conditions for maintaining registration.
21
State of South African NPO Register
The T-a-T programme was premised on the understanding that since CDPs interact with local community organisations, they would be the most important partners for the capacitation of community based organisations. In April 2011, and based on the recommendations of a research study undertaken within the department to assess the usefulness and relevance of the T-a-T in achieving its objective, the NPO Directorate implemented on a pilot basis the devolution of training responsibilities to the CDPs at the provinces. In terms of this project, the provinces select CDPs who participate together with the national DSD trainers in the actual training of NPOs in a phased in approach with them ultimately conducting the training workshops to CBOs on their own. The province of the Free State had opted to participate in the pilot project which is currently nearing conclusion. Upon conclusion other provinces will be covered. The project has shown an improvement on the levels of compliance of organisations in the Free State both in terms of meeting registration requirements and complying with obligations to submit required annual reports. 7.2 Training to NPOs funded, supported or working together with National DSDThe NPO Directorate conducted training and information sharing in collaboration with units within the National Department targeting NPOs that work with or are funded by them. These collaborative efforts were intended to ensure that the affected NPOs were aware of NPO Act compliance matters and that they comply with the Norms and Standards of the DSD for the provision of their services. This is an on-going endeavour and the NPO Directorate continues to avail itself to supporting internal processes. 7.3 Training of NPOs funded and those not funded by ProvincesThe NPO Directorate has been partnering with provincial counterparts across the provinces to conduct training sessions on NPO Act and compliance issues targeted at NPOs (mostly CBOs) that were being funded by the provinces or those that have applied for funding. This is owing to the fact that the government had made as a prerequisite for funding registration as an NPO and proof of compliance thereto. This requirement is in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The provinces that have participated include the Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northwest, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Northern Cape and KwaZulu Natal. The targeted training interventions therefore assist NPOs to improve on their funding eligibility and ability to attract the much needed funding and importantly so as a measure of the accountability.

7.4 Training with Networking structures or National bodiesThe NPO Directorate has been collaborating with Networking structures and National bodies such as Age in Action, CBO Network (the South African Chapter of the Community Organising Regional Network of the SADC), South African Early Childhood Development Congress (SA ECD Congress), S.A NGO Coalition (SANGOCO) and others for the benefit of their member organisations and affiliates. Aside from strengthening capacities of the member organisations and affiliates, the training had ensured the organisational strengthening of these institutions. 8. REMEDIAL ACTIONS TO ASSIST DEFAULTING NPOS The NPO Directorate ordinarily issues out notices of reminders to organisations whose reports are due at least 30 days before the due date. The intention here is to ensure that the organisations are encouraged to comply with their obligations. In addition to the foregoing, the Directorate in terms of section 20(1) issues a compliance notice to a defaulting organisation providing it 30 days within which to comply. Failing which, the defaulting organisation will be served with notice of cancelation or deregistration and its registration status will be revoked. It must also be stated that all registered organisations are informed of their obligations both in the application form they complete as well as in the letters confirming registration. These incessant references to the reporting obligations ensure that registered organisations are reminded of what is expected of them. Further to these formal communications, the workshop material that is presented at the training also makes mention of the importance of reporting and the requirements for the maintenance of registration status. 9. PLANS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING FOR NPOSAs mentioned in the foregoing, the NPO Directorate within the DSD has designed programmes targeting various formations to ensure improvement on compliance with the NPO Act. These interventions are planned and designed to respond to the needs of the target groups as an ongoing concern.

9.1 Rollout of the project to devolve NPO training to CDPsThe NPO Directorate has developed the project which is currently being piloted in the Free State. The purpose of the project is to capacitate the selected CDPs to undertake the training of NPOs as one of their core functions. It is hoped that other provinces will seize the opportunity to build their capacity to effectively support NPOs which mainly serve to extend government services to the poorest of the poor. 10. CONCLUSIONIt is evident that as much as registration is voluntary, a large number of organisations choose to register as a nonprofit organisation and be accountable to a public office that holds information of registered NPOs in custodian to members of the public to access. For the community based organizations, registration not only adds to their credibility in the eyes of donors and community, but also sets a basis for the way in which they are run. The NPO registration therefore sets a much-needed basis for organizations to run their affairs effectively and accountably. The gravity to the voluntary registration is also feed by the fact that other provisions such as tax, skills levy and municipality rates exemptions makes the NPO registration a condition for benefiting may contribute to this growing demand for registration. Furthermore, an increasing number of donor agencies also insist that the organisation should be registered as part of their conditions for financial support. Government Departments has also made it a requirement for NPOs to be registered before they would receive funding from them. As of late, the Financial Intelligent Centre Act (FICA) had made the NPO registration a condition for financial institutions to open a banking account in the name of the organisation. The NPO registration therefore sets a much-needed basis for organisations to run their affairs effectively and accountably. The NPO Directorate is fully aware of developments within the NPO sector and is well versed with challenges faced by the sector, notably those faced by the CBOs, such as leadership capacity, governance and financial resources management. In response to these, the NPO Directorate had commissioned research studies which included the NPO Impact Assessment, and Benchmarking of Good governance practices with the object of using the outcomes thereof to respond to the capacity needs of the NPO sector.

Finally, the NPO Directorate has just completed the review of the Codes of Good Practice which will be the subject of extensive consultations with the NPO sector with the ultimate object of enhancing governance practices within the sector.
