Can a charity have an organization carry on a fundraiser for it and issue receipts?
A registered charity can engage a third-party organization or retain a fundraiser as an agent or other contractor to organize a fundraising event such as a golf tournament. However, the charity should maintain control over all the monies that are received as part of the event, and over any receipts that are issued.
An organization held a fundraiser on behalf of a charity and asked the charity to issue receipts to attendees. Can the charity do this?
No. A registered charity can contract an organization to carry on activities on its behalf.
However, when an activity is carried on that a charity is not aware of, it is not possible to say that this is an activity of the charity. So the charity cannot issue receipts.
