  • Largest Gifts from Canadian Charities to Other Qualified Donees in 2012
    www.globalphilanthropy.ca Largest Gifts from Canadian Charities to other Qualified Donees in 2012 By Mark Blumberg (January 3, 2014) Canadian charities, depending on their objects can carry out charitable activities in three different ways. Some do all three. 1) A registered charity can conduct charitable activities using staff and volunteers. 2) A registered charity can work with an intermediary who is not a qualified donee as long as it has “direction and control” over its funds as set out in CRA’s two Guidances on the subject (at http://bit.ly/ybUGAB) 3) A registered charity can make a gift to a qualified donee. For a list of qualified donees see: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts- gvng/qlfd-dns/qd-lstngs/menu-eng.html We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2012. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in October 2013 and covers about 82,500 charities of the approximately 86,000 Canadian registered charities and their 2012 T3010 returns. www.globalphilanthropy.ca Here is a list of all gifts over $500,000 from the 2012 T3010 Registered Charity Information Returns. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information.

Project A: Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery 2. Project B: Community Visioning 3. Project C: Community Asset Inventory 4. Project D: Economic Leakage Analysis Project A – Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery The feasibility study included conducting a literature review and interviews with other regions that have similar attributes to that of the northern SLRD. The literature along with the interviews revealed similar results, primarily the need for relationships and communication between all of the groups involved in an economic development shared service. The Fraser Basin Council recommends that an economic development steering committee be formed to guide the direction of a shared economic development service with representation from all of the parties involved across the sub-region. During the first year, the development and implementation of the service should be facilitated by a third party, non-profit society. Once the committee membership and service have been established, the committee may form a new non-profit society/join an existing one and hire a staff person to carry out the work, or continue to utilize a third party.
