Applying for Registered Charity Status

Obtaining registered charity status has a number of advantages but also comes with many requirements. Most charity applications in Canada are unsuccessful because they fail to meet the technical requirements of charity law which include the Income Tax Act (Canada) and its regulations, trust law, common law and CRA policy. It is not good enough if your organization is 99% charitable. For a successful application, it is best to obtain professional advice from a lawyer who regularly works on charity applications and understands the requirements and process.
