Overview

Trust Registration for Sports (Non-Profit Sports Organizations)

Trust Registration for non-profit sports organizations is a legal process under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 or the relevant state laws. It establishes the organization as a legal entity committed to promoting sports, fitness, and related charitable activities. This registration enables the sports trust to operate transparently, attract funding, and achieve its objectives within a structured legal framework. Non-profit sports trusts often work to develop grassroots talent, organize events, and provide training facilities while focusing on social impact.
