I'd like to keep the spelling on this page consistent. Words such as organisation can appear with S or Z depending on which form of English is used. What precedent sets which form the page should use? Is it the version 1st used? Quotes aside what rules govern what is used? Ozdaren ( talk) 03:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Not true this is not necessary in many jurisdictions (unincorporated associations)
One may chose the legal vehicle on the basis of one's unique requirements. The pros and cons are detailed below.. There are 3 formats of NGO's.
Well, a legal stub documenting a legal concept was just outright redirected here... neat, eh? Source: History of Unincorporated association -- Kuzetsa ( talk) 16:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Some states permit the formal formation of "unincorporated associations".
Texas recognizes "not-for-profit unincorporated associations"; Texas has no affirmative provisions for "for-profit associations". In Texas, "for-profit associations" which wish to file " articles of organization" with the Texas Secretary of State must confirm to the structure and form of either, the " corporation", the " partnership", the " limited liability company", or " limited partnership", or the " sole proprietorship". {{ law-stub}} |
As noted in the RAS cited in the article, Section 252.001 of the Texas Business Organizations Code now provides such. Although arguably a better link would be to that section of the BOC itself: [1] -- BobC32 ( talk) 07:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Either "voluntary" should be dropped or what is used as reference should be explained. The reason: Employment for a given company in the United States is voluntary. WRT the work "association": The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the voluntary, civilian branch of the United States Coast Guard. United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Association is a 501(C)3 recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.

This article needs to be more clear that these are not the same thing. In the literature, voluntary association is a very broad term which describes a type of organization, which is typically a membership group of individuals or businesses to advance a certain purpose (e.g., trade associations, learned scientific societies, civil rights groups such as the ACLU). In the United States, these organizations are quite often incorporated, particularly as 501(c) organizations. On the other hand, "unincorporated association" is a type of legal entity. Technically, an unincorporated association is probably always going to be treated as a partnership in the United States (see Unincorporated organizations at SmartBusiness); limited liability companies (LLCs) are also typically called unincorporated associations. Unfortunately, it is not enough for this article to simply clarify that these two are different. Lots of articles link to unincorporated association and end up here. I recommend splitting this apart again to have an article on "unincorporated associations" and have this one remain to discuss the primarily nonprofit, non-business focused voluntary associations. In the long-run, it may be better to use the more modern term of "common-interest association" instead of "voluntary association" to describe these associations.
If nobody objects, I'm going to recreate unincorporated association and move a lot of stuff over there. LLCs are a type of unincorporated association which are certainly not nonprofit. II | ( t - c) 06:08, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Been kinda curious about the history here. Looking at older books such as Lewis Henry Haney's Business organization and combination, he talks about voluntary associations in the abstract to include corporations in general, which is technically correct (after all, one isn't usually forced to buy stock in a corporation). Also, Withington's Society in Early Modern England says on page 114 that 70% of his sample (certain title pages from 1500 to 1700) have "incorporated voluntary association". Other potential sources include:
There's a fascinating line in the article that says that California law allowed the Los Angeles D.A. to go after street gangs with suits with such names as "City of Los Angeles v. The Bloods and City of Los Angeles v. The Crips". This may well be true, but these particular names do not appear elsewhere on the web. Anyone have sources for this? If it it's true (and it's a strange thing to make up whole cloth) I assume the cases were filed under different names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.18.194.224 ( talk) 04:21, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
"A voluntary group or union (also sometimes called a voluntary organization, common-interest association,[1]:266 or just an association) is a group of individuals who enter into an agreement, usually as volunteers, to form a body (or organization) to accomplish a purpose." Not enter into an agreement. Should be enter an agreement. Gordon410 ( talk) 20:10, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
The article reads
"Membership is not necessarily voluntary."
And its title is "Voluntary Associations"
You gotta be kidding!!!
