		Furthermore, charitable trusts come under the doctrine of cy pres, which holds that if the charity designated in the trust ceases to exist or otherwise becomes unable to carry out the purpose of the trust, then the trust property can be transferred to another charity with a similar purpose.
		Charitable trusts are usually non-profit organisations or registered with the government of a country.
		Charitable Remainder Trusts are so named because the remainder of the assets in the trust passes to a designated charity at the death of the grantor or one or more beneficiaries.

		In all of the authorities on charitable trusts and charitable institutions cited before me, the starting point for the inquiry into whether a particular body is charitable is the deed or instrument by which the body was established.
		The Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney stated that `charitable organisations exist for their purpose not for any specific activities' and that `it is the purpose that inextricably binds together, and makes sense of, the activities which are carried out by the (Anglican) community'.
		Several organisations, even where they considered purpose should be the main determinant, argued that activity should play some part in determining an organisation's status, with most saying that it should be a substantiation role.

	Case Study: A Major Charitable Organisation
		I thought we'd take this a little wider than a large charitable trust and have a sort of tour of what's going on in the remuneration incentive and particularly the measurement of performance business.
		So there's a normal sort of investment performance type criteria that you'd get in an investment management organisation because they had a very hands-on role in deciding how their money was invested.
		I think the reason is that although we've persuaded this foundation only to assess the performance of their investment team on an annual basis, too many investment organisations are on these quarterly comparitors which seem to me to be really dangerous things.

	CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION REPORT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		A CIO will be holding its property for charitable purposes, not to provide a profit for members and this is reflected in the proposed content of the primary legislation.
		In the context of public accountability we are of the view that this means that any penalty for failure to provide annual accounts and reports should fall on the charity trustees and not on the organisation; to impose a penalty on the organisation merely deprives beneficiaries of the charity.
		The legislation should provide that the CIO and its trustees should be in the same position as a charitable company and its directors, ie sections 35 and 35A of the 1985 Act should be applied with the modifications for which section 65 of the 1993 Act makes provision.

		By Michael D. Cross, Jr., J.D. Those who desire to form a charitable organization should be mindful of two distinct sources of law that govern both the organization and the operation of nonprofit entities.
		Generally, those nonprofits that desire to serve the community by engaging in charitable activity may obtain tax-exempt status only by showing the IRS that they fall within the definition of Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") § 501(c)(3).
