Charitable Organization Registration
Programs that are responsible for managing the registration of charitable organizations, professional fundraisers and solicitors; monitoring registration renewals; accepting required financial documents relating to their activities, fund-raising contracts and reports; and reviewing submitted documentation to ensure that charities are in compliance with the law. The objective of charitable registration is to ensure that donors and beneficiaries of charities are protected from unscrupulous practices in the solicitation and management of charitable assets and that the public has access to basic information about how charities spend their contributions.
