Where can I find more information on Canadian charities?
A number of organizations offer information on charities. You can find information by searching the links below.
- The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) registers qualifying organizations as charities, gives technical advice on operating a charity, and handles audit and compliance activities. Registered charities are required to file an annual return with the CRA, a portion of which is available to the public, and must meet certain requirements of the Income Tax Act, listed here, concerning their expenditures and activities.
