Charity Registration

Status as a registered charity can provide many benefits to organizations seeking to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Unlike non-profit organizations, registered charities  have the ability to issue official donation receipts. Status as a registered charity comes with numerous other benefits,  including tax-exempt status, access to government grants and funding, and increased credibility and donor confidence.
