A new learning tool, an online decision tree, has just been launched by the Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia (LISNS). You can access it at www.charitydecisiontree.legalinfo.org/.
It will help non-profit groups who are facing the complex decision of whether to apply for charitable status. Walking the organization through a sequence of questions, the decision tree helps people understand Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requirements and determine whether charitable status would truly benefit their cause, whether they’d be able and willing to meet the regulatory obligations, and whether their application would stand a good chance of approval.
The To Be or Not to Be a Charity Decision Tree, which has been funded by the CRA, is available online or as a CD-ROM to groups across Canada in both official languages. We’re excited — and we hope you will help us spread the word about this innovative new resource through your networks by telling your clients, members or others who may be interested.
For more information on the decision tree, please see the attached press release or contact LISNS at 902-454-2198.
