We are confident that this year’s event will be even better. Whether attending in person or on a computer, one thing remains the same, and that’s the tremendous amount of great content that ASEE’s Annual Conference unfailingly delivers. From our fantastic plenary speakers, paper presentations, and technical sessions to our inspiring lineup of Distinguished Lectures and panel discussions, you will have many learning opportunities and take-aways. I hope you enjoy this week’s events and please feel free to “find” me and reach out with any questions or comments! Sincerely, SHERYL SORBY ASEE President 2020-2021 2 Schedule subject to change.

Canadian Charities Giving to Indigenous Charities and Qualified Donees - 2018
CanadianCharitylaw.ca/ RedskyFundraising.com/ Canadian charities giving to Indigenous Charities and Qualified Donees - 2018 By Sharon Redsky, Wanda Brascoupe, Mark Blumberg and Jessie Lang (May 31, 2021) We recently reviewed the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return database for 2018 to see how many gifts and the value of those gifts were made from Canadian registered charities to “Indigenous Charities” and certain Qualified Donees such as First Nation Governments or ‘Bands’ (listed as “municipal or public body performing a function of government in Canada”). Together we refer to them as “Indigenous Groups”. To identify Indigenous Groups, we reviewed the list with all grants over $30,000 and we also used terms and phrases such as: Indigenous, First Nation, Metis, Inuit, Indian, Indian Band, Nation, Tribal council, National Indian Brotherhood, etc.. We also used a list from the Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Fund by CanadaHelps developed by Wanda Brascoupe. We cut off the review at $30,000 because these larger grants are over 28,000 grants and also encompass about 90% of the value of grants made by Canadian charities to qualified donees. If an individual or corporation donates to an Indigenous Group, this would not be reflected in this article as we only have visibility as to registered charities making gifts to other qualified donees. We encourage others to either do a more comprehensive review or use different methodology. 1 CanadianCharitylaw.ca/ RedskyFundraising.com/ We believe that Indigenous led charities are vital in providing culturally appropriate services. There are numerous charities in Canada that are either Indigenous led or primarily serving Indigenous communities, but it is not always easily determinable who they are and how many there are. -

Which Canadian Charities Received the Most Revenue from the Canadian Federal Government in 2015?
www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Which Canadian charities received the most revenue from the Canadian Federal government in 2015? By Mark Blumberg (June 10, 2017) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2015. It covers about 84,442 of the 86,000 registered charities that have so far filed their return and that have been entered into the CRA’s database. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 their revenue from the Federal government. The total revenue from the Federal government of all the 84,442 registered charities was about $6,862,811,349.00. Below we have a table of Canadian charities that received over $100,000 from the Federal government in the charity’s 2015 fiscal year and the amount received from the federal government. Thank you to Celeste Bonas, an intern at Blumbergs, for helping with this project. The Sean Blumberg Transparency Project is in memory of my youngest brother Sean Blumberg. Sean was a sweet, kind person, a great brother who helped me on a number of occasions with many tasks including the time consuming and arduous task of reviewing T3010 databases and making them into something useful. As part of the Sean Blumberg Transparency Project, Blumbergs has been releasing information on the Canadian charity sector to provide a better understanding of the size, scope, complexity and challenges of the sector. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information. 1 www.canadiancharitylaw.ca List of Canadian charities which received the most revenue from the Canadian Federal government in 2015 Name of Canadian registered charity Line 4540 1.
