CRA has reminded charities that are affected by wildfires to let CRA know

CRA has reminded charities that are affected by wildfires to let CRA know as it may make it harder for a charity for example to file their T3010 return or meet other obligations.

Here is the note from CRA:

July 27, 2023

Reminder: Contact us right away if your charity has been impacted by wildfires, floods or other adverse weather events

As wildfire and flood activity continues to be higher than normal across most of the country, the safety and security of your directors, employees, volunteers, and communities remain a primary concern.

We understand that some charities may be unable to meet their filing obligations due to extraordinary circumstances, such as a fire or flood.

In such cases, it is important to contact the Charities Directorate as soon as possible to discuss your situation. This will help ensure that your charity remains in good standing. Our client service team is here to support you Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, local time.

For more information about your charity’s filing obligations during adverse weather events, please contact the Charities Directorate’s client service team at 1-800-267-2384.
