Transparency
Charities have many stakeholders and it’s very important that a charity is transparent in its operations so that those who are affected by the work of the charity or who provide funding or donate to the charity understand the important work of the charity. We assist charities with different aspects of transparency including reviewing their T3010 filings, commenting on communications and websites, etc. If you wish to retain our law firm to assist with your transparency needs, you can contact us.
