Incorporation/fi
Kun Miraheze perustettiin heinäkuussa 2015, kaikki omaisuus (eli varat, verkkotunnukset ja palvelimet) olivat John Lewisin valvonnassa. Joulukuussa 2015 Brent Laabs oli vastuussa tästä.
Tämä ei kuitenkaan ole toteuttamiskelpoinen tilanne. Koska Miraheze on yhden henkilön vastuulla ja on henkilökohtainen omaisuus, siitä aiheutuu suuria riskejä eri tavoin kaikille sidosryhmille. Perustaminen sellaisenaan katsottiin pakolliseksi. Alkuperäisissä suunnitelmissa Mirahezesta tulisi 501 (c) (3) -organisaatio Yhdysvalloissa, mutta vuoden 2019 lopulla eri tilojen tarkastelun ja tutkinnan jälkeen päätettiin perustaa voittoa tavoittelematon yhdistys' Isossa-Britanniassa. Johnin perheenjäsen Owen Baines on ottanut johtoaseman tehdä kaikki vaadittavat paperityöt ja organisaation tälle voittoa tavoittelemattomalle yhdistykselle.
The not-for-profit company, Miraheze Limited, was registered on 20 November 2019. Due to several issues that need to be handled (for example the transfer of assets), a translation period lasted until 31 December 2019. As such, changes were small and planned but did not cause any impact on users.

Board of Directors
The board of directors lead the operations of the not-for-profit company. The first directors were be:
| Username | Real name | Country of Residence / Citizenship | E-mail (Miraheze) | Involvement on Miraheze | Appointment | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Owen | Mr Owen Baines | United Kingdom | owen[at]miraheze[dot]org | UK representative for the not-for-profit company | Appointed director - unless renewed, two years | Secretary and Treasurer |
| Southparkfan | Mr Ferran Tufan | Netherlands | southparkfan[at]miraheze[dot]org | System administrator, steward | Technical volunteers nominated director - unless renewed, two years | Chair |
| Void | Mr Alexander Zimmerman | United States | void[at]miraheze[dot]org | steward | Appointed director - unless renewed, two years |
It is important to know votes are divided evenly among the directors. All directors mentioned above have reached the age of majority in their country and the United Kingdom (which is 18+).
What changed after 31 December?
