CRA charity registrations revoked or proposed

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice (published on November 15, 2025) records actions by the Canada Revenue Agency under the Income Tax Act about charity registrations. Two charities are listed for proposed revocation by the CRA, and a long list of charities asked the CRA to cancel their own registration (the full list appears in the Gazette).

What it does#

• The Canada Revenue Agency proposes to revoke the registration of:
  • HERUT CANADA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (BN 714293479RR0001), Dorval, Que. — the notice says the charity failed to meet parts of the Income Tax Act.
  • LIGHTCITY CHURCH (BN 737042713RR0001), Fort Erie, Ont. — the notice lists several specific Income Tax Act provisions the CRA says were not met.
  • In both cases the notice says the proposed revocation is effective on the date the notice is published in the Gazette (that is, November 15, 2025).
• The CRA also published a long list of charities that requested to have their registrations revoked. Examples from that list include SWAN RIVER ROTARY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION INC. (BN 105101083RR0001), BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF CHATHAM‑KENT (BN 106910490RR0001), and THE MANITOBA MUSEUM FOUNDATION INCORPORATED (BN 892493537RR0001). The Gazette entry says those revocations are effective on the date of publication (November 15, 2025).
• The notices are signed by Sharmila Khare, Director General, Charities Directorate (listed in the Gazette).

Who's affected#

• The charities named in the notices — both the two with proposed revocations and the many organizations that asked for revocation. The Gazette gives their names and business numbers.
• People who give money to or receive services from those charities — donors and clients are the groups most likely to notice an effect.
• Anyone who relies on charity registration lists (researchers, regulators, professional advisers) may also be affected because those entries change the official register.

Why it matters#

• Losing registered‑charity status can change how an organization is treated for tax purposes and whether it can issue official donation receipts. The Gazette notice signals which charities the CRA considers to be revoked or to be revoked at publication.
• Some entries are the result of CRA compliance action (proposed revocation), while many are voluntary requests from the charities themselves. That difference matters for readers who want to know if the CRA initiated the change or the charity requested it.
• If you donate to, rely on, or work with any of the named charities, check the full Canada Gazette listing or the CRA’s charities database to confirm the current registration status and any immediate practical effects.
