What is a registered charity?

 

There are several charitable organizations in Canada, but not all of them are registered. A registered charity is one that meets certain criteria and has been accepted for registration by the Canada Revenue Agency.

 

Registration provides certain benefits to charities, such as the right to issue official donation receipts. However, with these benefits come responsibilities. To learn more about these, see the question "Are there any rules for registered charities?" "

 

The registration procedures are explained in our article Applying to become a registered charity.

 

Can any charity register?

 

No. A charity must meet certain criteria in order to be registered:

 

1. The body must be created for one of the four purposes provided for by law.

 

"Purposes" refers to the reason the organization was created - its mission. The "purposes" of a charity are distinct from its "programs" and "projects" - the means it uses to achieve its mission.

 

Here are the four qualifying purposes for recording:

 

aid to poverty (food banks, organization that provides clothing and goods to the most disadvantaged, etc.);

the advancement of education (, awarding scholarships, encouraging the advancement of science, running museums, etc.);

the advancement of religion (carrying out missionary work, managing buildings dedicated to religious worship, etc.);

other purposes benefiting the entire population (running reception centers for young people in difficulty, helping victims of domestic violence, ensuring the protection of children's well-being, running an animal shelter, etc. .).

To learn more about other charitable purposes in these four categories, see the Canada Revenue Agency website and our article Applying to Become a Registered Charity.

 

2. The organization must demonstrate that it provides a "benefit in the public interest". That is, its activities must benefit the population in general or a significant part of it. An organization that only benefits its members or a small group of people will generally not be able to register. For more information on the "public benefit" test, see the Canada Revenue Agency fact sheet on this topic.

 

3. The organization must have been established in Canada and be resident in Canada. It may or may not be incorporated. To learn more about the different ways to create an organization in Canada, see our article Being "inc. "Or not to be.

 

Charities created in Canada are considered residents of Canada. The requirement to be a resident of Canada does not prevent registered charities from carrying on their activities abroad under certain conditions. For more information, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website page.

 

4. The organization must devote all of its resources (money, property, employees and volunteers) to its charitable activities. It can do this by carrying on its own charitable activities or by donating its resources to so-called "qualified donees", including other registered charities. To find out more about donating resources to qualified donees, see our capsule The rules registered charities must follow.

 

The organization does not need to work directly with the people it wants to benefit from. For example, an organization that works to facilitate and improve the work of other charities may sometimes qualify. See the explanation of "umbrella organizations" on the Canada Revenue Agency website.

 

What can prevent a charity from registering?

 

Even though they benefit the general population, some organizations cannot be registered.

 

Personal benefits

 

An organization will not qualify if any portion of its funds personally benefit its members, shareholders or trustees.

 

Note that the rule against personal benefits in no way precludes a registered charity from reasonably remunerating its employees or paying reasonable expenses for the normal management of the organization.

 

Private purposes

 

Organizations that help a few people or private groups of people cannot be registered. For example :

 

the organization set up to help John, Sandrine and their children who lost their home in a fire.

the organization founded to pay for a trip to Juan in Canada for surgery.
