Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP), authorised by the Fed byeral Board of Revenue (FBR) to certify nonprofits in Pakistan, has granted certification to 19 organisations.

PCP certification is entirely a voluntary process involving an objective evaluation against predetermined standards in areas of governance systems, regulatory and policy frameworks, taxation, financial management and transparent program delivery. PCP Executive Director, states: “Certified organisations are entitled to receive income tax benefits from Federal Board of Revenue, being incumbent upon the issuance of certification of good governance”. In all, PCP has certified more than 1200 organizations across Pakistan. During the year 2019-20, a total of 234 organisations were granted certification, whereas 37 applications were rejected for failing to fulfill the rudimentary requirements. The whole process of certification does not compromise on quality of evaluation due to which NACTA also places PCP certified organizations in the category of safe charities.
