Updates to CharityData.ca in April, 2024

We have recently made several updates to the CharityData.ca site.  The most important updates are as follows:

1. We now have all 2022 data, and we have changed the base year for searches and sorting to 2022.
2. We have brought in significant additional data under the “Program” tab that relates to Qualifying Disbursements made by way of grant to grantees, which is the new system that the Income Tax Act provided as of June 2022.  A few charities have used the new system although we are suggesting for almost all groups that the structured arrangement/direction and control rules are better for the moment.
3. We have brought in 2023 information for over 30,000 Canadian registered charities.
4. We now have 20 years of data for many charities that have been around for that long.

We are very pleased that between 30 and 40,000 visitors view the website every month, which shows that there is a lot of interest in transparency and registered charities.
