Welcome

Welcome to The Charities File: Training and Resources to Complete the T3010A, a joint project of the Canadian Federation of Voluntary Sector Networks and the Centre for Voluntary Sector Research and Development, funded by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to build the capacity of charitable organizations across Canada.

Our goals are to:

• Increase awareness among charities about annual compliance requirements of the Government of Canada.
• Provide training on how to complete and submit accurate information returns, on time.
• Develop and post learning resources on charitable returns.

Charities in Canada are trusted by the public and governments to conduct their business responsibly. Each charity is required to file a Registered Charity Information Return, annually, on form T3010A. Yet, each year a number of charities are either not filing their returns, filing them late, or filing with incomplete or inaccurate information (sometimes resulting in the de-registration of charities).

This project will enhance knowledge among leaders, volunteers, practitioners, managers, and allied professionals, helping meet the current requirements for filing and preparing for future changes in the way returns are submitted to the Government of Canada.

Please check out the resources, look into training opportunities in your region, and take part in the discussion!
