The path to legitimate and credible Community Foundations.
The path to legitimate and credible community foundations goes beyond passion – it demands a strong grasp of legal and regulatory requirements. In November 2025, community foundation leaders gathered for a legal compliance masterclass that transformed anxiety into clarity, revealing compliance not as a bureaucratic hurdle but as the structure that protects impact, trust, and long-term sustainability. Guided by Counsel Peter Magelah, participants unpacked evolving laws governing non-profits in Uganda, explored why due diligence and transparent reporting matter, and recognised legal literacy as a strategic advantage for bold, accountable leadership. This session reframed compliance as a core pillar of governance, empowering community foundations to operate with confidence, protect their reputation, and plan for lasting impact.
