A charter is a document that, in addition to granting rights and privileges, describes what aspect of the organization?

• A. Funding sources
• B. Marketing plan
• C. Organization functions
• D. Employee benefits

Answer: (C)

A charter establishes the organization’s authority and the scope of what it will do. It isn’t just about granting rights and privileges; it also lays out the functions—the main activities and operations—that the organization is set up to perform and how it will be structured to carry them out. This framework defines why the group exists and what its day-to-day functions will be.

That’s why describing the organization’s functions is the best fit. Funding sources, marketing plan, and employee benefits are more detailed, operational, or policy-oriented and are typically handled in separate documents or plans rather than in the charter.
