Non-Profit ERP for Canada

Donation tax receipts are issued under the Income Tax Act provisions for charitable donations, with specific rules about what constitutes a gift, the fair market value of non-cash gifts, and the information required on official donation receipts. The advantage rules require that any benefit received by the donor in return for a donation be subtracted from the eligible gift amount. Split receipting applies when donations include a partial return benefit.

Canadian charities face restrictions on political activities following the 2018 amendments that now permit charities to devote resources to public policy dialogue and development activities without the previous 10% limitation, as long as these activities further the charity charitable purposes. However, charities remain prohibited from supporting or opposing political parties or candidates. The CRA Charities Directorate provides guidance and conducts audits of registered charities.

The provincial reporting module manages the different incorporation and reporting requirements for each province where the organization operates. Grant management tracks funding from federal and provincial government sources with the specific reporting templates required by each funder.
