In Colombia, non-profit organizations (NPOs), such as foundations, are legally required to provide their articles of incorporation to ensure compliance with national regulations governing their formation and operation. This transparency is mandated by law to:
Verify Legal Existence: The articles of incorporation confirm that the organization has been legally established and registered with the Chamber of Commerce or relevant authority.
Ensure Accountability: By sharing these documents, the organization demonstrates its commitment to operating transparently and responsibly within the legal framework.
Protect Public Interest: Since NPOs often handle public donations or resources, publishing the articles of incorporation builds trust and assures the public that the foundation has lawful and ethical objectives.
