Top 3 Benefits of Charity Registration

  1. Tax Exemption: Registering a charity in Canada provides eligibility for tax exemption, allowing the organization to avoid paying income tax and issue tax receipts to donors.
  2. Access to Funding: Registered charities have access to various funding sources, such as government grants, foundations, corporate sponsorships, and public donations, facilitating financial support for charitable projects.
  3. Credibility and Trust: Registration enhances an organization's credibility by subjecting it to strict regulations and oversight, instilling trust in potential donors, partners, and stakeholders.

Meet Dov Goldberg, J.D.

Hi, I’m Dov Goldberg. As a Lawyer working exclusively with Charities and Not-for-Profits, I help founders and directors register their charity and/or not-for-profit without dealing with complicated legal forms, by taking care of all the paperwork so that you can successfully register your charity/NPO, have more freedom, peace of mind, and spend more time doing what you love.

In 2015, after working for several years in a boutique firm focused on corporate, business, and charity law, I took the leap to start a Law Firm dedicated exclusively to Charities and Not-for-Profit Corporations, so that I could help Charity Founders, Directors and Not-for-Profit Entrepreneurs register and operate their organizations on a solid and stable legal footing and so that I could work in a legal field where I am inspired daily by our amazing clients (…one of the best decisions I’ve ever made).

Hiring a Charity Lawyer

Charity and Not-for-Profit Law are very niche areas of law. In fact, there are only a handful of lawyers across Canada who are experts in these two areas of law.

The first thing to do when searching for a Charity or Not-for-Profit lawyer is to look for experience and practice focus. Here are some questions to ask a charity lawyer before hiring him or her:

With approximately 70% of all charity applications being rejected, do you guarantee charity registration?

How many years’ experience do you have in the area of Charity Law?

Approximately how many charity applications and registration have you processed?

Are your fees fixed or do you charge per hour?

If you allow for fixed fees, what do they include? Do they include all registration fees, HST, correspondence with the CRA, all the way to registration? Or do the fees only cover the application?

We had tried years ago on our own to incorporate with charitable status and it was like trying to go through a wall, so we gave up. B.I.G. has now done it for us in a matter of months, no glitches or delays. Excellent, efficient work by our legal consultant, Daisy. Great communication, answers always within 24 hours. Successful outcome. What more can I say?

I worked directly with Casriel Silver, who provided excellent service throughout the process. He was professional, prompt in his responses, and ensured that each step was clearly explained. The entire process was handled smoothly, efficiently, and completed on time. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert guidance in charity law.

Casriel Silver and the team at Big Law were exceptional at guiding us through the registration process regarding our Charity. From the first point of contact, to the submission of our application, Big Law supported us and kept us on task to ensure the application was done correctly, and in a timely fashion. Late night emails, on the weekend requests for information, Casriel was always available and responded promptly. The service we received from Big Law is out of the ordinary, remarkable, and a perfect example of a business going over and above to meet their customer's needs!

I had the pleasure of working with Casriel to set up my not-for-profit organization, and I can confidently say the experience was great. From our first consultation, Casriel was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me bring my vision to life. He walked me through every step of the legal process—from incorporation to securing charitable status—with clarity and attention to detail. He was always responsive to my questions and he explained complex legal concepts in a way that made them easy to understand. What stood out most was his professionalism and dedication. It was clear he truly cares about supporting organizations that aim to make a difference. Thanks to his guidance, I felt confident that everything was set up properly and in full compliance with all legal requirements. If you are starting a non-profit and want a lawyer who is competent, trustworthy, and genuinely supportive, I highly recommend Casriel
