Donations made by one registered Charity Organization to another are common in Canada’s Charitable Sector. Such donations do not give way to a charitable tax receipt because both the donor and the recipient are tax-exempt organizations.
Inter-Charity activity gives rise to important considerations for the donor and recipient. Both parties to the transaction must ensure the activity aligns with their Organization’s missions and mandates. In this report, we fully examine why Inter-Charity activity occurs, what issues need to be considered, the costs and benefits of such activity, its magnitude and diversity of use, and the oversight provided by the sector’s regulator – the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
