Charitable organisations have to fulfill a particular set of rules;
like being educational, helping the homeless, that sort of thing. As
opposed to just doing something socially beneficial. They can also be
named specifically by the minister.
You can be a non-profit easily, but that only means you don't have to
pay tax yourself, not that donators can claim a deduction.
