Canadian charity

A Canadian charity is an organization officially recognized by the government as a non-profit entity dedicated to a purpose that benefits the public or a specific community. These organizations operate to address social, environmental, health, or other issues, relying on donations, grants, and volunteers. They must follow regulations set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), including transparent financial practices and limited distribution of profits. Donations to registered charities often offer tax benefits to donors. Overall, Canadian charities work to improve lives and communities through service, advocacy, and support initiatives aligned with their charitable goals.
