Thinking about becoming a registered charity?

Charitable Status Toolkit

The Charitable Status Toolkit is a practical, plain-language guide designed to help organizations understand the charitable registration process in Canada. It walks you through key considerations, eligibility requirements, application steps, governance expectations, and ongoing responsibilities after registration.

This resource can help you:

  • Understand what qualifies as a charitable purpose
  • Determine whether charitable status is the right fit for your organization
  • Learn about CRA requirements and expectations
  • Prepare for the application process
  • Understand ongoing compliance obligations
