Setting up a charity for a Birmingham photography gallery
There’s a move afoot to campaign for a dedicated photography gallery in Birmingham. I’ve agreed to do some initial research into how best to set up an organisation to raise funds for such a campaign
A quick look at the Charity Commission website suggests that we don’t need to register as a charity if our annual income is under £5,000. I think that means we can start gathering donations straight away, and start the process of registering while we build up momentum.
As for holding money, I’ve discovered the Co-op bank’s ‘Community Directplus‘ account:
- we can hold up to £1m, at which point(!) the bank would help us decide how to move forward;
- there is no minimun deposit;
- we would need to provide:
- a written constitution (half A4 is enough), signed by
- at least two members, by whom the account would be held (they don’t all need to be signatories).
