Enhanced Future Charitable Trust

In its decision dated 18 May 2022, Te Rātā Atawhai the Charities Registration Board (“the Board”) declined the application of Enhanced Future Charitable Trust (“the Trust”) for registration as a charity.

The Board decided that the Trust does not meet the requirements to qualify for registration under the Charities Act 2005 (“the Act”) because the Trust does not advance exclusively charitable purposes.

The Board considers that the Trust’s primary purpose, as demonstrated through its draft stated purposes and activities, is not capable of advancing charitable purposes to relieve poverty, advance education, protect the environment or promote good citizenship. The Board also considers the Trust’s activities are not consistent with charitable purposes. The Board considers that the Trust does not have a purpose which is analogous to an identified charitable purpose, therefore, it does not qualify for registration as a charity.

The Board has determined that the Trust does not advance exclusively charitable purposes, and therefore does not meet the requirements to be a registered charity under the Act.
