Canadian International Charities by Country Or Region of Operation and Why This Information May Be Helpful CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES BY COUNTRY OR REGION OF OPERATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION MAY BE HELPFUL By Mark Blumberg August, 20 2010 This document contains a list of countries and regions in which Canadian charities are conducting foreign activities. The information comes from the 2008 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return and specifically Question C5: “For programs the charity managed directly, outside of Canada, list the countries or regions where programs were carried on. Do not include countries or regions where programs were managed by a qualified donee.” Why is it useful to have a list of Canadian charities organized by countries or regions in which they operate? 1. If you are interested in a particular country, then it is interesting to note which Canadian charities operate there. 2. If you are interested in supporting a particular country’s development efforts, then you have a list of some of the charities operating there. 3. If an individual, organization or charity is interested in conducting a project in a particular country, then they may wish to partner with one of the charities on the ground. People interested in setting up charities approach our firm frequently, and I usually try to dissuade them from establishing a new charity when there are others doing similar work. Instead, I encourage them to work with an established charity that has similar interests. 4. If you are a Canadian charity this list can help you. If you are considering a project in a new country, then you can speak to some of the Canadian charities already operating there. 5. Also, if a foundation, as opposed to an operating charity, has a particular interest in a country they may be a potential source of funds for a charity. 6. Need for greater coordination between charities (greater efficiency), and for donors’ expectations that organizations will work together and not compete for the sake of competition. This information may be useful to encourage cooperation. Limitations and Caveats There are a number of problems in dealing with the information from the T3010A. 1) It is based on the 2008 T3010 information filings. So, it is not up-to-date. - 2 - 2) Although an important legal document, the T3010 is often completed by volunteers or others who may have little understanding of the nuances of the Income Tax Act, who may have limited language skills, and who may not have easy access to the correct information and are often in a hurry to file the form to avoid deregistration. 3) In question C5, dealing with the list of countries or regions where programs were carried out, the form provides only ten boxes. Clearly, some charities conduct operations in more than 10 countries or regions. 4) The fact that a charity is allowed to list regions, in addition to or instead of specific countries, will always undercut the accuracy of the statistics on countries. 5) If one carefully reads the list of regions and countries, one will find that there are all sorts of inaccuracies either on the T3010 that was filed or on CRA’s inputting of the information. These include: • cities named instead of countries; • countries spelled incorrectly; • former names of countries used such as Czechoslovakia; • lack of uniformity in country description (DRC, DROC, The Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC, etc.); • the field being used for a relevant or irrelevant memo like a particular denominations missionary was supported without reference to a country; • some charities listed the same region or country; • some listed “world” or “worldwide” or “various” which does not really add to our understanding; • there were a few “unknown” or “unknown countries”; - 3 - • there were a few in which not applicable or N/A or S/O was listed; and • there were references to Canadian cities such as Montreal, or Canadian provinces such as Ontario – clearly not outside of Canada. 6) The list that CRA provided to Blumberg Segal contained some entries in French and some in English. We have translated the French countries and regions into English in order to better amalgamate the information. Remember that if you are a registered charity conducting foreign activities you need to comply with the requirements as outlined in CRA’s Guidance on Foreign Activities or “Canadian Registered Charities Carrying out Activities Outside Canada” which is located at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/chrts/plcy/cgd/tsd-cnd-eng.html If you are interested in legal advice with respect to Canadian charities that operate outside of Canada please contact: Mark Blumberg of Blumberg Segal LLP at 416-361-1982 x. 237 or [email protected].

  • Where Is the True Church? – and Its Incredible History!) When God Called Mr
    Where Is GOD’S CHURCH? by David C. Pack Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God (formerly The Radio Church of God until 1968) until his death in 1986. Hundreds of mil- lions heard his voice and read his literature. God called him in the fall of 1926 and he was converted in the spring of 1927. Over the course of Mr. Armstrong’s ministry, God revealed through him a great many true biblical doctrines, which had been lost to the Church through the centuries. After his death, his successors ceased to believe and teach these doctrines. Although copyright law prohibits The Restored Church of God from reproducing and distributing literature produced while he led the Worldwide Church of God, we are committed to the preservation and teaching of all of these truths! THIS BOOKLET IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST BY THE RESTORED CHURCH OF GOD. It is made possible by the voluntary, freely given tithes and offerings of the members of the Church and others who have elected to support the work of the Church. Contributions are welcomed and gratefully accepted. Those who wish to voluntarily aid and support this WORK OF GOD around the world are gladly welcomed as co-workers in this major effort to preach the gospel to all nations. Copyright © 2008, 2017 The Restored Church of God® All Rights Reserved. Printed in the United States of America Did Christ build one, unified, organized Church? Or is His Church divided? He said, “I will build MY CHURCH”— not “churches,” “fellowships,” “sects,” “denominations” or “communities of believers.” He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Where is it and how is it identified? What and why is it? You need not be confused.

  • The Worldwide Church of God
    The Worldwide Church of God: A study of its transformation in terms of K. Helmut Reich’s theory of Relational and Contextual Reasoning. Johannes Lothar Felix Buchner MA Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) University of Western Sydney, Australia March 2006. Certificate of Originality I certify that this thesis is entirely my own work, and that sources have been duly acknowledged, and that inclusive language has been used wherever possible, and that this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other institution. ______________________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 23 March 2005. Amended version submitted following examination. ___________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 27 February 2006. ii Acknowledgments and Dedication Sincere gratitude is expressed for the considerable assistance and support provided by Dr Maureen Miner, of the School of Psychology, University of Western Sydney, my principal supervisor, who gave so much of her time and expertise, as well as her genuine friendship. Maureen’s high academic standards, especially in the Psychology of Religion, enabled me to succeed in this project. I also thank Professor Jim McKnight and Dr Agnes Petocz for their valuable assistance at various stages of this thesis. The generous assistance and mentoring of Dr. K. Helmut Reich, lately of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, whose valuable theoretical contributions are explored in this thesis, and whose vision for the resolution of cognitive conflict and harmony between worldviews is greatly admired, was very much appreciated. A true polymath, Dr. Reich’s profound insights have given us a wealth of important lessons. I have sought to understand and apply Helmut’s theory fairly and honestly out of respect for academic integrity and our friendship.

  • Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in Our Day? by Peter Salemi
    Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in our Day? By Peter Salemi BICOG Publication [This booklet is not to be sold. It is a free educational service in the public interest, published by the British-Israel Church of God.] Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in our Day? Many today in the Church of God claim that Herbert W. Armstrong was “God’s Apostle.” Many who claim to be his successor are claiming the same thing. Are these claims true? Or did the office of Apostle cease after the death of the Apostle John? It’s unfortunate that in the latter years of his Life Herbert W Armstrong claimed these divine titles for himself the way he did. This was the beginning of the end for that church. By the end of his life, the “Church of God” did not resemble the church that Jesus built, but looked like the church of HWA! Keith Hunt a former member on his website writes, “It is sad to have to report that IDOLATRY is still very rampant in different religious groups. The Mormons have their Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. The Jehovah Witnesses have their William Russel. The Seventh Day Adventists have their Ellen G. White. The Roman Catholics have their Pope, and so it goes with other organizations of religion. “While I am somewhat familiar with the above idolatry with the above groups, I am VERY first- hand familiar with groups that have broken off from the Worldwide Church of God, founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. I was a member of the WCG from 1961 to 1972.

  • Position Statement Has Been Endorsed by Nearly 2,500 Churches and Other Nonprofit Organizations
    Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability 440 West Jubal Early Drive, Suite 100 ● Winchester, VA 22601 July 17, 2018 To: Members of Congress Re: Nonprofit Parking Tax The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, contains a troubling provision that applies federal income tax to parking benefits provided by tax‐exempt organizations to their employees. Newly added Section 512(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code states, “Unrelated business taxable income of an organization shall be increased by any amount for which a deduction is not allowable…by reason of section 274 and which is paid or incurred by such organization for any…parking facility used in connection with qualified parking…The Secretary shall issue such…guidance as may be necessary…including regulations or other guidance providing for the appropriate allocation of depreciation and other costs with respect to facilities used for parking…” Tax practitioners who have evaluated Section 512(a)(7) generally believe that the result of this new provision is that tax‐exempt organizations that provide parking to their employees will be subject to unrelated business income tax on the cost of the parking provided. A nonprofit organization that simply allows its employees to park in a parking lot or garage that is part of the organization’s facilities will be subject to a tax on the cost of the parking provided. How the parking costs must be measured remains to be addressed in the “regulations or other guidance” to be issued by the IRS. To apply this new requirement, nonprofit employers and their accountants must have guidance addressing exceedingly complex questions of allocations of basis, depreciation, and rent payments among different structures and between employee and non‐employee users.
