# Does InfoDocs support non-profit companies?

||| InfoDocs currently has limited support for non-profit companies, specifically the ability to store and manage member records.

*Estimated reading time: 1 minute 30 seconds*

We are constantly looking for ways to expand our support for company and other entity types. Currently, our support for non-profit companies (NPCs) is limited as you are unable to store and manage member records on InfoDocs.

###### What is a non-profit company (NPC)?

A non-profit company (NPC) is a company incorporated for public benefit or an objective(s) relating to cultural, social, communal or group interests as set out in its [memorandum of incorporation (MOI)](/en/article/memorandum-of-incorporation-moi-as4c0j/).

Its income is not distributed to the shareholders or members like that of a private company (PTY) or close corporation (CC) but must instead be used solely to advance the purpose for which it was created.

###### What's the difference between an NPC and an NPO?

An NPC and a non-profit organisation (NPO) are not the same thing.

An NPC is a type of company registered with [the CIPC](/en/article/what-is-the-cipc-15hhjq8/) while an NPO is a non-governmental organisation (NGO), community-based organisation (CBO) or faith-based organisation (FBO) registered with the [Department of Social Development (DSD)](https://www.dsd.gov.za/).

An NPC can be registered with [the CIPC](/en/article/what-is-the-cipc-15hhjq8/) and can be incorporated with or without members.
An NPO can be registered with the [DSD NPO website](https://www.npo.gov.za/).

###### What can an NPC do on InfoDocs?

* Import company and director information from CIPC
* Store and manage company and director records
* Receive key date reminders and company alerts
* File annual returns
* Submit company and director changes and amendments to CIPC

###### What can't an NPC do on InfoDocs?

* Store and manage member records
* Calculate beneficial owners
* Submit member changes and amendments to CIPC
