From Application to Approval: Mastering Your CRA Charity Registration

This episode explains why the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) denies charity registration applications.

It discusses how more than half of the 4,000 annual applications often fail due to misunderstandings of charitable purposes, inadequate documentation, or operational failures, such as providing private benefits.

We thoroughly detail the CRA review process, including the significance of Administrative Fairness Letters (AFLs) and critical deadlines for responding.

Furthermore, we outline the four legally recognized charitable purposes in Canada and emphasize the need for clear governance and strict adherence to the public benefit test to ensure a successful application.
