Registered charity
A charity whose registration we have approved. The charity may be registered as a charitable organization, a public foundation or a private foundation.
Note
- Even if a charity is already registered in one of the above categories, its designation may be changed on its own request or at our discretion. For example, a registered charity can apply to be designated as a public foundation rather than a private foundation.
- In the information return and this guide, a registered national arts service organization (RNASO) is considered to be a charity registered as a charitable organization.
- A charity is automatically deemed to be registered in Québec on the day it is registered as such by the CRA. However, we reserve the right to refuse, cancel or revoke a registration or modify a designation.
