The biggest question we are asked is what is the difference between a Non Profit and a Charity? As they begin the registration process both the Not For Profit and Charitable incorporations begin as Non Profit, however the charitable status is only available to those corporations where the object or purpose clauses are deemed to be a charitable organization. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) ultimately determines whether a new corporation is considered charitable and if so, the corporation is able to obtain a charitable tax number.

What is a Non Profit?

A non profit is to benefit the community, but its focus is not on obtaining donations to support those endeavours.

Common examples of Not For Profit objects are:

-Associations – professional, trade, ratepayers, residents, merchants
-Athletic, Hobby and Sports Organizations – golf, curling, health club, skating
-Service clubs – Elks Canada, Kinsmen, Lions
-Arts – dance, music literary, photography, theatre
-Community – Association, Centre, Club
What is a Charitable Organization?

A charity is an organization where the objectives of the corporation is to support the community and have the ability to take in donations and provide tax receipts to those who provide financial contribution.
