Regulation of Charities, Giving, and Fundraising: An Introduction (Recorded Webinar)

Registered charities are granted two benefits associated with their status: they pay no tax on income and they are authorized to issue official donation receipts. For these privileges, registered Canadian charities are subject to considerable oversight by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). In this webinar, Derek Ross will help you to understand CRA’s regulation of charitable gifts and how to comply with their fundraising policy.

This webinar will help participants to understand

• how CRA views a “gift” for Income Tax Act purposes;
• which gifts qualify to receive an official donation receipt for income tax purposes;
• CRA’s rules surrounding the issuing of receipts for charitable gifts;
• how to comply with CRA’s fundraising policy.
