What if all you want to do is create a foundation that gives grants to various groups? Under what category would that fall?

Charity Organization

[@kerendacosta]

very straight forward

I honestly would like to start up my own charity foundation in Jamaica but I believe that it's not as straightforward as it may sound.
My main concern is that the assistance goes to the person who are ineed of it.
Growing up where opportunities for me was impossible so now that I have fulfilled my assignment in life I just need to give back to those who are ineed.

Thanks for the info. It is mostly clear except How to get the TRN number for the organization remotely and how long does that take.
I did back to school treat and a feeding treat last year for my ancestral community. It was one of the most gratifying experiences of my life.! I am planning another back to school treat for the summer. Plan to registering this time.

Can a non profit organization be registered under the Charities act?

[@gleecares]

Is there a cost to register?
