19 mins confidence:   charitable status
Explanation:
In UK terms this would be charitable status
See:
http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Publications/cc21.aspx#...
What is a charity?
2. A body is a charity if it:
is set up under the law of England and Wales (paragraph 61); and
is established for exclusively charitable purposes only (paragraphs 4 - 6).
3. In this guidance we refer to an individual charity's purposes as its 'aims'. A charity's aims are usually expressed in the objects clause of its governing document.
What are charitable purposes?
4. 'Charitable purposes' are those that fall within the descriptions of purposes capable of being charitable set out in the Charities Act 2006 and that are for the public benefit. Purposes capable of being charitable include those purposes that the law previously recognised as charitable, as well as new purposes which may be recognised as the law develops.
5. The Charities Act 2006 sets out the following descriptions of purposes:
a. the prevention or relief of poverty;
b. the advancement of education;
c. the advancement of religion;
d. the advancement of health or the saving of lives;
e. the advancement of citizenship or community development;
f. the advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science;
g. the advancement of amateur sport;
h. the advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or the promotion of religious or racial harmony or equality and diversity;
i. the advancement of environmental protection or improvement;
j. the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantages;
k. the advancement of animal welfare;
l. the promotion of the efficiency of the armed forces of the Crown or of the police, fire and rescue services or ambulance services;
m. other purposes recognised as charitable under the existing law and any new purposes which are similar to another prescribed purpose.
What is meant by 'public benefit'?
7. 'Public benefit' is the legal requirement that every organisation set up for one or more charitable aims must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit if it is to be recognised, and registered, as a charity in England and Wales. This is known as 'the public benefit requirement'.
8. The public benefit requirement means that, to be a charity, an organisation must be able to demonstrate that it is set up for aims that are capable of being charitable, and that its aims are, and will be, carried out for the public benefit. It is a requirement that applies to each of an organisation's aims. A charity cannot have some aims that are for the public benefit and some that are not.
9. There are two key principles both of which must be met in order to show that an organisation's aims are for the public benefit. Within each principle there are some important factors that must be considered in all cases. These are:
Principle 1: There must be an identifiable benefit or benefits
1a It must be clear what the benefits are
1b The benefits must be related to the aims
1c Benefits must be balanced against any detriment or harm
Principle 2: Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public
2a The beneficiaries must be appropriate to the aims
2b Where benefit is to a section of the public, the opportunity to benefit must not be unreasonably restricted:
by geographical or other restrictions or
by ability to pay any fees charged
2c People in poverty must not be excluded from the opportunity to benefit
2d Any private benefits must be incidental
