DIY-U as an unincorporated association.



An unincorporated association is the simplest form of a non profit organization. DIY University is an unincorporated association. My research has shown that unincorporated associations can grow into international organizations and that they can be turned into for profit ventures too.

Here's what nolo.com says about unincorporated associations.

What happens, legally speaking, when a group of people get together and decide to perform some task without filing any legal paperwork or establishing any formal legal structure? Whether they know it or not, they have formed an unincorporated association. Unincorporated association means an unincorporated group of two or more persons joined by mutual consent for a common lawful purpose, whether organized for profit or or not.

Linder Myers solicitors on unincorporated associations.

There are many situations where a group of individuals come together to further a common aim or interest such as a sporting or other social activity, educational or community improvement.

( I purposely underlined part of the sentence above. DIY-U is an educational project which aims to have a positive impact on education as a whole. )

The may include collectives and online communities. There's no end to them: groups with common purposes that are not incorporated.

(My analysis of the sentence above: DIY-U is an online community. We may form physical world 'brick and mortar' groups too, in the future. Unincorporated associations may influence off shoot unincorporated associations or they may just transform over the course of time.)

Here's a youtube video on unincorporated associations.

Research connections with regulations.

Here is a link to a PDF file I had written up on the connections I had made with research and regulations. I had analyzed secondary data in order to come up with some unique ideas relating to regulations etc. You are welcome to share and to download the PDF. I hope that the PDF file triggers new ideas for you. If you read about inventions, you will see that new inventions are basically improvements and / or modifications on existing ideas. Or they can be combinations of ideas. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JqQiz7LGsHGNDJ3NNDRwbFp8EoE3PiBl/view?usp=sharing

My Facebook page for DIY-U.

I have recently opened a Facebook page and a Facebook group for DIY-U. I believe in the power of social media as a learning platform. I will write more about this topic in future posts. I hope Google re-start their social media vehicle. Let's see what transpires. Here are the links to my Facebook page and my Facebook group for DIY-U. https://www.facebook.com/diyuniversity https://www.facebook.com/groups/336377653643535/ The Facebook group for DIY-U is a closed membership group. Just send me a request to join and I will then add you as a group member. I am impressed with some of the features these groups give to page admins. They allow page managers to place documents into the page and they have other useful features too.
