Organisation Membership Registration Form

Submitted by R.D. on Sun, 2011-07-17 16:16

Buddhist organisations can apply for membership by filling out this form. Organisation membership is available to any Buddhist group that agrees with the principles and objects of the Society, is registered with the Charities Commission, and can pay $50 for a year of membership.

The NZ Government Charities Commission (http://www.charities.govt.nz) administers organisations official status as charities. If your organisation does not have charity status, please contact us and we may be able to help or suggest another registration option.
Who should we address when writing to your organisation, or who should we ask for when phoning your organisation?
Who does your organisation nominate as responsible for casting votes, as relevant to New Zealand Buddhist Council elections and motions?

The following optional questions help us understand who are members are, so that we can better support and represent you.

Please tell us anything you would like us to know about your organisation. Possible topics might include the names and lineage of Sangha at your organisation, the kind of members who go to your organisation, possible organisation affiliations and networks, wider social activities, associate centres, and any special details specific to your organisation.
Please let us know why the organisation you are representing is joining the New Zealand Buddhist Council.
If your organisation is able to further support the New Zealand Buddhist Council with advice, resources or other help, please let us know of that potential here.

Please remember to pay the membership fee of $50 and let us know the reference details so we can see you have paid. Thank you very much.
