In what situations is it requested?
- a grant or financial aid application;
- opening a bank account in the organization's name;
- entering into a lease or a contract with a supplier;
- proof of a director or officer position.
What should the declaration contain?
- your identity and your role within the organization;
- the name of the organization and, if applicable, its registration number;
- the nature of the activities and the non-profit status;
- the specific facts the declaration is meant to confirm;
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to business declarations?
For a for-profit business, notably a sole proprietorship, see rather our article on the sole proprietor declaration.
Can it be sworn online?
Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
