What are the costs of starting a non-profit community organization? What are the costs in the future (contributions to the Pension Fund, etc.)? I am counting on a detailed answer with specific numbers. The organization plans to engage in volunteer activities, i.e. All employees will work on a voluntary basis.

Is it possible to interact with a legal entity without registering a volunteer organization? persons ready to support the project?

• Lawyer's answer:

  The procedure for the creation and further activities of public organizations is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Law “On Non-Profit Organizations”, the Law “On Public Associations”, a number of special laws (for example, the Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons”), as well as the Law “On State Registration of Legal Entities” and individual entrepreneurs." Public organizations are created on the initiative of their founders - at least three individuals. The founders, along with individuals, may include legal entities - public associations, unless otherwise provided by the relevant special law. Members of a public organization, in accordance with its charter, can be individuals and legal entities - public associations, unless otherwise established by legislation on certain types of public associations. The founders of a public organization acquire membership in it automatically. Members of a public organization do not have ownership rights to a share of property owned by a public organization and are not liable for its obligations, just as a public organization is not liable for the obligations of its members. The total number of members of a public organization is not limited by law. The constituent document of a public organization is the Charter.

I want to create a non-profit organization, how do I find out which legal form is most suitable, there are so many of them?

• Lawyer's answer:

  Public and religious organizations (associations) A common feature of public and religious organizations (associations) is the purpose of their creation - they are created to satisfy spiritual or other non-material needs. Another sign is the commonality of interests of the uniting citizens. Consumer cooperatives. A consumer cooperative is recognized as a voluntary association of citizens and legal entities on the basis of membership in order to satisfy the material and other needs of the participants, carried out through the pooling of property share contributions by its members. Unlike other forms of non-profit organizations, income from the business activities of a cooperative is distributed among its members. Foundations The characteristics of a foundation as a non-profit organization are: lack of membership, property base created through voluntary property contributions. The Foundation is a kind of non-profit “bank”, where funds are first accumulated through donations, and then distributed for the statutory purposes of the Foundation - social, cultural, educational and other socially beneficial purposes. The Foundation is required to publish annual reports on the use of its assets. Institutions An institution is an organization created by the owner to carry out managerial, socio-cultural and other functions of a non-profit nature and financed partially or fully by this owner.

Non-Profit Partnerships A non-profit partnership is a membership-based non-profit organization established by citizens and/or legal entities to assist its members in carrying out activities aimed at achieving socially beneficial goals. A distinctive feature of a non-profit partnership is the right of its members to a part of the property in the event of liquidation of the partnership or withdrawal from it.

System of environmental rights of organizations in the Russian Federation

• Lawyer's answer:

  Citizens of the Russian Federation can exercise environmental rights and responsibilities both individually and through participation in public environmental associations. I would like to dwell a little on public associations. A public association is a voluntary, self-governing, non-profit formation created on the initiative of citizens united on the basis of common interests to realize common goals specified in the charter of the public association. The goals of creating public environmental associations include protecting the health of citizens, protecting their rights and legitimate interests, resolving disputes and conflicts in the implementation of environmental activities, preparing the population to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, industrial accidents and catastrophes, providing assistance to victims of such disasters and accidents, animal protection, protection and proper maintenance of specially protected natural objects and territories and others]. Public environmental associations can carry out their activities as a legal entity from the moment of state registration in the manner prescribed by law. State registration of public associations is carried out by justice authorities. Both founders and members of public environmental associations can be individuals and legal entities who have equal rights and obligations. Public organizations have been granted a number of powers to carry out their functions in the field of environmental protection. According to Art. 12 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002. No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection” they have the right to: - develop and promote their environmental programs, protect the environmental rights and interests of the population, develop the environmental culture of the population, and involve citizens on a voluntary basis in active environmental activities; - at the expense of its own funds and the voluntary participation of the population, carry out work to protect and reproduce the natural environment, assist government agencies in the fight against environmental violations; - recommend their representatives to participate in the state environmental assessment, conduct a public environmental assessment; - demand, in an administrative or judicial manner, the cancellation of decisions on the placement, construction, operation of environmentally harmful facilities and the restriction, suspension, termination or repurposing of their activities; - demand the provision of timely, reliable and complete information about environmental pollution and measures to protect it; - organize meetings, rallies, processions, demonstrations, collect signatures, enter with proposals to discuss projects, referendums on environmental protection; - raise the issue of bringing guilty officials to justice, bring claims in court for compensation for damage to the health and property of citizens caused by environmental violations. The state guarantees environmental and other public associations performing environmental functions and citizens the opportunity to exercise their rights in the field of environmental protection in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. State bodies and their officials are obliged to provide all possible assistance to public associations and citizens in the implementation of their environmental rights and responsibilities, and to take the necessary measures to implement their proposals and requirements in organizing environmental activities.

    Autonomous non-profit organization. Its founders have no advantages - they are on an equal footing with other participants. The highest governing body is the collegium. The founders of the ANO independently determine the form and procedure for forming a collegial supreme governing body. The collegial supreme governing body of an ANO is the general meeting of founders or another collegial body (Board, Council and other forms, which may include founders, representatives of the founders, director of the ANO). The fund is not based on membership - its participants are not obliged to take part in the activities of the fund, do not participate in the management and are not responsible for the activities of the fund. Unlike a number of other non-profit organizations, the foundation does not have the right to participate in limited partnerships as a contributor. The founders, members and participants of public funds cannot be state authorities and local governments. The fund's board of trustees supervises the activities of the fund, the adoption of decisions by other bodies of the fund and ensuring their execution, the use of the fund's funds, and the fund's compliance with the law. The fund's board of trustees may apply to the court to liquidate the fund or make changes to its charter in cases provided for by law. The decisions made by the board of trustees are advisory in nature, in contrast to the decisions of the governing and executive bodies. Amendments to the foundation's charter, as well as its liquidation, are possible only through court proceedings. A public fund is a public association that does not have a membership, the purpose of which is to form property on the basis of voluntary contributions (and other revenues permitted by law) and to use this property for socially beneficial purposes). A public association can be created on the initiative of at least 3 individuals. Also, the founders, along with individuals, may include legal entities - public associations. Public associations can carry out business activities only to achieve the goals for which they were created. Income from business activities is not distributed among members of associations and should be used only to achieve statutory goals.

• Lawyer's answer:

  The task was poorly written. Nothing like this can happen in life. In life everything is much worse. Answer: The regional prosecutor must prepare a claim in court (a resolution to send the materials of the case of an administrative offense to the court) in the claim indicate violations of Art. 8.14. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Part 2 or Art. 6.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation to suspend the activities of an enterprise for a period of up to 90 days or impose an administrative fine - the decision is made by a judge. (Article 8.14 1. Violation of water use rules when collecting water, without withdrawing water and when discharging wastewater into water bodies - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles; on officials - from one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days; for legal entities - from ten thousand to twenty thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period up to ninety days (as amended by Federal Laws dated 05/09/2005 N 45-FZ, dated 06/22/2007 N 116-FZ) 2. Violation of water use rules during the extraction of minerals, peat, sapropel on water bodies, as well as during the construction and operation of underwater and surface structures, during fishing, shipping, laying and operating oil pipelines and other product pipelines, carrying out dredging, blasting and other work, or during the construction or operation of dams, ports and other structures - (as amended by Federal Laws dated July 14, 2008 N 118-FZ, dated December 3, 2008 N 250-FZ) entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for officials - from three thousand to four thousand rubles; for legal entities - from thirty thousand to forty thousand rubles. (as amended by Federal Law No. 116-FZ of June 22, 2007) Article 6.5. Violation of sanitary and epidemiological requirements for drinking water, as well as for drinking and domestic water supply - (as amended by Federal Law dated July 14, 2008 N 118-FZ) entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles ; for officials - from two thousand to three thousand rubles; for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from two thousand to three thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days; for legal entities - from twenty thousand to thirty thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days. ) I don’t know what your teachers want from you, but in the problem statement there is no factual side for each of the above offenses: violation of Art. 8.14 - this is a direct impact on water bodies, which does not follow from the conditions of the problem, since it should have been indicated that the extraction of rock is carried out from the depth of the aquifer, and a violation of Art. 6.5 is not confirmed by the results of laboratory tests, in addition, Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow itself can go to court for a decision to suspend operation in case of violation of Art. 6.5 - he does not need a prosecutor, and Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow does not make “demands to stop work” on legal entities - this is a state control and supervisory body, and not a public organization like “Green Peace”. Sanitary and epidemiological supervision centers are government institutions that provide supervisory activities of Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow and do not address legal entities with “exhortations”. The “sanitary and epidemiological supervision bodies” ceased to exist in 2005 with the formation of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow). Good luck with your studies!

Vasily Kubysh is a private institution if it is created by one person.

The Law “On Public Organizations of the Russian Federation” regulates relations relating to the exercise by people of the rights to form social institutions, carry out activities within their framework, and their reorganization/liquidation. The same legal possibilities are established for foreign individuals and stateless persons, except for the cases provided for in regulations.

Scope

The Law “On Public Organizations and Associations” applies to all social institutions formed by citizens. The exception is religious structures. Also, the normative act does not regulate the activities of commercial structures and non-profit unions and associations formed by them.

Citizens' rights

Individuals have the legal ability to form social institutions (public associations) on a voluntary basis. The purpose of their formation is to protect collective interests and implement common tasks. The right of people to associate also presupposes the opportunity to join or abstain from existing institutions, as well as to terminate membership in them without any difficulties or obstacles. The formation of social institutions thus ensures the realization of interests and rights. The Law “On Non-Profit Public Organizations” allows for their formation without the need to obtain prior permission from government agencies or local authorities. Citizens can join such social institutions, subject to compliance with the statutes. The Law “On the Establishment of Public Organizations” does not establish a mandatory requirement for registration. Such social institutions can operate without acquiring the rights of a legal entity. At the choice of citizens, a public organization can be registered in the manner prescribed by the law in question.

Normative base

The rights of individuals to associate, their content, the status of organizations, basic guarantees of the state, the procedure for activities, formation, liquidation/reorganization are regulated not only by the law in question, but also by the Civil Code, as well as a number of other regulations. The specifics of the formation, functioning, and structural transformations of certain types of social institutions can be regulated by specially adopted legal documents. Such organizations, for example, include trade unions, charitable foundations, etc. The regulations adopted regarding them must comply with the legal document in question. These institutions can carry out their activities until the adoption of relevant laws. In this case, their functioning is regulated by the document in question.

Concept

The Law “On Public Organizations” reveals the definition of a social institution. It is a self-governing, voluntary formation formed on the initiative of citizens. The structure carries out its activities on a non-commercial basis. Citizens form a social institution in accordance with common interests and goals, which are specified in the charter.

Subjects

The Law “On Public Organizations” establishes that citizens and legal entities can act as founders of a social institution. These entities convene a congress at which they approve the charter and form a control, audit and management apparatus. The founders of a social institution, both legal entities and citizens, perform equal responsibilities and are endowed with equal rights. Members of a public organization – public associations(legal entities) and individuals. Their interest is manifested in the collective solution of the problems of the formed institute on the basis of the provisions of its charter. It is drawn up with appropriate documents (applications) that allow the number of members to be taken into account to ensure their equality as members of the organization. These entities are also endowed with equal legal opportunities and responsibilities. Members of a social institution can be elected and choose the composition of the supervisory, audit and management structures. They also have the right to exercise control over the activities of management bodies in accordance with the charter. If they fail to fulfill their duties or fail to comply with the requirements of the charter, members of a social institution may be expelled from it.

Participants

The Law “On Public Organizations” names legal entities and citizens who express support for the goals of the established institution and specific actions carried out by it. Such entities participate in the activities of the structure without the need to necessarily formalize the conditions of their assistance, unless otherwise provided for in the charter. Like founders and members, participants have equal responsibilities and rights.

Kinds

The Law “On Public Organizations” allows for the formation of:

1. Movements.
2. Funds.
3. Organizations.
4. Institutions.
5. Amateur bodies.
6. Political parties.

Public organization

It is based on membership. Such a structure is formed to carry out joint activities. The goals of education are to ensure the protection of interests and the implementation of the tasks provided for in the charter. Legal entities and individuals can act as members, unless otherwise established by the Federal Law “On Public Organizations” under consideration. The highest governing structure of a social institution is considered to be a conference (congress) or meeting. The collegial body acts as a permanent management apparatus. He is accountable to the conference or general meeting. A social institution can undergo state registration. In this case, the permanent management apparatus exercises the rights of the legal entity on behalf of the organization and fulfills its duties in accordance with the charter.

Movement

As such, the Law “On Public Organizations of the Russian Federation” recognizes an institution consisting of participants not on the basis of membership. This structure is distinguished by its mass character. A movement may pursue political, social or other socially beneficial goals that are supported by its participants. The highest management apparatus is a conference/congress or meeting. The permanently operating body is an elected collegial structure. She is accountable to the meeting or congress. During state registration of a movement, its governing body, acting permanently, performs duties and exercises rights on behalf of the institute on the basis of the provisions of the charter.

Territorial distribution

Currently, interregional, all-Russian, regional and local organizations are functioning. The former should be understood as an institution whose activities are carried out on the basis of statutory goals in a territory covering less than half of all subjects of the country. In each district, they have their own branches, representative offices, and departments. An all-Russian organization is an association that operates in more than half of the country's regions. They also have their divisions in administrative-territorial units. Regional associations are organizations operating within the same subject. There are also local social institutions. They operate within the territory controlled by the local government. For more specific regulation of these institutions, special regulatory documents may be adopted. For example, the law “On regional public organizations”.

Principles

The regulatory document in question provides that:

Restrictions

The legislation formulates a number of prohibitions regarding the creation and subsequent activities of public organizations. In particular, the formation and functioning of social institutions whose goals or activities are characterized as extremist and aimed at inciting interethnic and other hatred is not allowed. This ban was introduced on August 10, 2002. A public organization may include in its program and founding documents provisions related to the protection of ideas about social justice. The formulation of such concepts cannot be considered as measures that contribute to inciting social discord. Restrictions on the formation of certain types of public associations (organizations) can be formulated and approved exclusively within the framework of federal legislation.
