365: How community trust may spend profits

You could also call this:

"How community trusts can use their money to help their community"

When you are part of a community trust, you have to use the money you make to help your community. You can use it for things like charity, culture, and recreation that benefit the people in your area. You are helping your community by using the money in a way that is good for them.

You can also choose to keep some of the money you make if you think it is a good idea for your trust's activities. This means you can save some money for things you want to do in the future. You get to decide how much money to keep and how much to use to help your community.

365How community trust may spend profits

  1. A community trust must apply the net profit that it makes in performing its functions to charitable, cultural, philanthropic, recreational, and other purposes that are beneficial exclusively or principally to the community in the region of the community trust.

  2. However, a community trust may, instead of applying all of its net profit as required by subsection (1), retain so much of its net profit as it thinks prudent for the purposes of its activities (including any proposed activities).
