Proposed Revocation of Charity Registrations

Summary#

The Canada Revenue Agency published a notice in the Canada Gazette saying it proposes to revoke the registrations of a long list of charities for failing to meet filing requirements under the Income Tax Act. The notice says the proposed revocations are effective on April 13, 2024 (the date the notice was published).

What it does#

• Announces proposed revocation of registration for the charities named in the Canada Gazette.
• Says the reason is failure to meet filing requirements of the Income Tax Act.
• States the revocations are effective on the date the notice appears in the Gazette: April 13, 2024.
• Provides each charity’s business number and name in the Gazette; the full list appears in the published item.

Who's affected#

• The charities named in the Gazette notice.
• People who interact with those charities (clients, volunteers, staff, and donors) are most likely to notice any change.
• The Gazette notice itself does not explain the specific practical effects of revocation, so it is unclear exactly how each organization or its supporters will be impacted without further information.

Why it matters#

• A notice like this signals that the listed organizations may lose their registered-charity status.
• That could change how these organizations operate or how they appear to donors and the public.
• If you give to, work for, or rely on any charity on the list, you may want to check the Canada Gazette entry or contact the charity or the Canada Revenue Agency for details.
