Canadian Registered Charities List with Financial and Activity Data

The List of charities presents data on Canadian charities registered under the Income Tax Act and eligible to issue official donation receipts. Data is compiled from the annual T3010 Registered Charity Information Return submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. The dataset includes details on a charity's financial information, activities, and directors or like officials.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of charitable activities across sectors based on activity descriptions.
• Identify governance structures and key personnel based on director and official data.
• Verify charity registration status for due diligence or donation receipt validation.

Strengths

Limitations
