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?

Five-Star Review for Casriel Silver and B.I.G. Charity Law Group I’m thrilled to share my outstanding experience working with Casriel Silver at B.I.G. Charity Law Group. From our first consultation to final CRA approval, Casriel handled the entire charity registration process with precision, professionalism, and integrity. He ensured that our application was thorough and submitted in a timely manner—delivering exactly within the timeline promised. Casriel was incredibly attentive and responsive, even outside of business hours, making himself available to answer any questions as they came up. Thanks to his guidance, our charity, Amamericana, is now fully registered, with bank accounts open and operations up and running. I also want to highlight B.I.G.’s commitment to education through their Agent Classroom—a truly helpful resource that made understanding the charity setup process much easier. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares and delivers on what they promise, I highly recommend Casriel Silver and B.I.G. Charity Law Group. — Jai Jind, Founder, www.amamericana.org

The B.I.G. Charity Law Group performed a fantastic service in helping us to transition from Provincial to Federal Incorporation. Despite a few hiccups in dealing with the various government bodies, the transition occurred seamlessly without putting our ongoing charitable status in peril. The service provided was also very affordable. Special thanks to Yisrael for providing patient guidance throughout the process. Grant Ross Past President Canadian Paramedic Memorial Foundation.

I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction with the services provided by the B.I.G. Charity Law Group. Our organization had previously faced significant challenges with other legal firms in Canada, primarily due to a lack of transparency and unexpected costs. This often resulted in receiving invoices for even the simplest queries, creating substantial issues for us. However, our experience with the B.I.G. Charity Law Group has been refreshingly different. From the outset, the team demonstrated a keen understanding of our needs and expectations. They were exceptionally transparent about the financial costs involved, which were both reasonable and clearly communicated. I would like to specifically acknowledge the assistance and patience of Daisy Francisco and Mathew Mah. Their responsiveness was remarkable, any message or question we sent was answered within 30 minutes. The efficiency of the team was also impressive, as they managed to draft and submit a set of documents to the government in just three working days, compared to the six months (!!!!) it took with our previous firm. Moreover, the flexibility of the team was outstanding. They supported us beyond just the payment aspect, allowing us to consult with their lawyers on various questions ( which doesn't require a new file to be opened), and the team didn't charge us for every single email, no matter how simple. In summary, the B.I.G. Charity Law Group is a friendly and patient team, and it was a pleasure to work with them. We will definitely return to them for any future legal advice or assistance.
