"Did you know? 💡
Registering your organization as a company in Jamaica doesn't automatically make it a registered charity. To access tax exemptions and other charitable benefits, NPOs must separately apply for charitable status; a step that's often missed or misunderstood.
Understanding these distinctions early can save your organization time, money, and compliance headaches down the road.

Got a question about NPO registration you'd like us to cover next?

Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 🌍
Poverty isn't solved by one organization alone — it takes a resourced, connected civil society sector working alongside communities every day. From youth empowerment to community resilience programming, Jamaica's NPOs are on the frontlines of this work. That's why CVSS continues to advocate for a regulatory environment that supports rather than burdens the organizations doing this work, so they can focus on what matters most: the communities they serve.

30/09/2026

The proposed NPO Act could reshape Jamaica's civil society landscape and CVSS has been at the table every step of the way.

Researching. Consulting. Convening. Advocating.

Our goal: a framework built with the sector, not simply for it.
