CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES BY COUNTRY OR REGION OF OPERATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION MAY BE HELPFUL Why is it useful to have a list of Canadian charities organized by countries or regions by which they operate? 1. If you are interested in a particular country it is interesting to note which Canadian charities are operating there. 2. If you are interested in supporting a particular countries development efforts then you have a list of some the charities that are operating there. 3. If an individual, organization or charity is interested in conducting a project in a particular country they may wish to partner with one of the charities on the ground. I am approached frequently by people interested in setting up charities and I usually try to dissuade and encourage them to work with an established charity that has similar interest. 4. If you are a Canadian charity it can help – if new project in new country can speak to some of the Canadian charities that have already operated there. 5. Also if a foundation 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 efficiencies – donors expecting that organizations will work together and not compete for the sake of competition. This information may be useful to encourage cooperation. Limitations and Caveats This information on which countries Canadian charities are conducting projects comes from the 2004 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return and specifically Q. 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.” There are a number of problems in dealing with the information from the T3010A. 1) It is based on the 2004 T3010 information filings. So it is not up- to-date. 2) Although an important legal document, the T3010 is often filled out by volunteers or others who have little understanding of the nuances of the Income Tax Act, may have limited language skills, in some cases, 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 - 2 - some charities conduct operation 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. • 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”. • There were a few in which not applicable or N/A or S/O was listed. • There were references to Canadian cities such as Montreal, or Canadian provinces such as Ontario – clearly not outside of Canada. 6) The list that I was provided by CRA is in both French and English and I have translated it into English in order to better aggregate the information. - 3 - Other resources Another very useful resource is a world map provided by the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC) with the names of each of their members who are operating in different countries. Unfortunately CCIC has only about 100 members so many international development charities are not included in that map.

Leaving the island in 1961, parts of Gaileen’s childhood were spent in the US and Canada with her six siblings. She placed her faith in Jesus at an early age, and at age eleven was so moved during a missions’ conference in Burnaby, BC, that she felt God’s call on her life to minister cross culturally. After graduating Bible college in 1976, Gaileen served as an IW in Venezuela with Word of Life Fellowship, and then served in the same country with the C&MA from 1981 to 2009.

    Knights of Columbus' Good Works Assist Parish and Community

    September 2012 Knights of Columbus’ good works assist parish and community The local councils of the Knights of Columbus (KofC) remain vigilant in providing assistance to those in need while adhering to their Roman Catholic beliefs that are the driving force behind the organization as it continues to grow. “I always recognized it as a great service group within the church, which ties faith to service and service to faith,” says Jack Schreader, a member since 2005 and Grand Knight of the KofC, Bishop N.Z. Lorrain Council 1531 of Pembroke. “It’s a great group of guys.” On October 2, 1881, Father Michael J. McGivney called together a group of men to a church basement in New Haven, Connecticut. At that gathering, a pledge was made to form a fraternal order based on their devotion to their country, families and faith. A life insurance program was established by the founders to provide for widows and orphans of deceased members, which still exists to this day. Those wishing to join the KofC must be 18 years of age and be practicing Roman Catholics in union with the Holy See. Prospective applicants must accept the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, strive to live in accordance with the Our Lady of Guadalupe celebration on January 26, 2012, featuring the Icon and the Knights of Columbus precepts of the Church, and be in good standing in the newly formed choir. Catholic Church. Not unlike the challenges the diocese currently faces in engaging youth to reconnect with their faith, so, recently, a new gathering of Knights is being established “I have a lot of family roots in that area,” explains too, are the KofC encountering hurdles in recruiting in Douglas via St.

    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.
