Bill S- 216, the Effective and Accountable Charities Act aims to amend the Income Tax Act to enable charities to establish more equal partnerships with non-charities (or “non-qualified donees”), while still ensuring accountability and transparency.
The bill has passed in the Senate and will now be debated in the House of Commons. There appears to be substantial support across the parties, which means it may pass and become law in the next few months.
Join Philanthropic Foundations Canada and Imagine Canada as we present a joint webinar for our members, partners and stakeholders to learn more about the bill, the issues it seeks to address, and what it might mean for our work in the nonprofit sector as grantmakers, fundraisers, and sector partners.
Simultaneous English-French interpretation will be available.
