As a Nonprofit organization, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) enforces a strict set of rules regarding donation receipts that Canadian nonprofits need to abide by as part of regulatory compliance.

As a Non-Profit organization, the key benefits of staying compliant directly relates with your reputation, the validity of your mission and status. These benefits are critical for many organizations. The information below is a checklist that focuses on the most general compliance related tasks you must complete or manage.  

Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL) protects consumers and businesses from the misuse of digital technology, including spam and other electronic threats. It also aims to help businesses stay competitive in a global, digital marketplace. As such, Nonprofits must be informed about how CASL affects their operations.

As part of their operations, Nonprofits collect, use, and disclose an increasing amount of personal information (details on donors, employees, volunteers, etc.). It is therefore essential that Nonprofits ensure they handle this personal information in compliance with applicable laws.
