Sách Hướng Dẩn Thực Hành về Điều Hành Hội Từ Thiện (ở tiểu bang NSW, Úc) rất hữu dụng:

Chúng tôi chưa tìm thấy sách tương tự viết cho các tiểu bang khác ở Úc, nên các hội Từ thiện ở các tiểu bang khác ở Úc (hoặc ở các quốc gia khác) có thể dựa theo cuốn sách NSW này và bổ túc nó với những luật lệ từ thiện riêng ở địa phương của Quí vị. Sách cho NSW này có thể download miễn phí.

"Best Practice Guidelines for Charitable Organisations" is a very useful book:

Produced by the Office of Charities, Department of Gaming & Racing (NSW - Australia). Other states do not seem to have published a similar book, hence this NSW Guidelines book may be based on with necessary modifications, if required, to other Australian states or country's charity rules and laws. This NSW Guidelines book is free to download .
