RC5. How can I find out if my organization is a registered charity?
You can
- call the Charities Directorate of the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-267-2384 (English) or 1-888-892-5667 (bilingual) and speak to an agent
or
- search the CRA's Charity Registry.
You may also be able to find this information
- in your organization’s Minute Book (the book that contains your organization’s incorporation documents)
- on your organization’s tax returns
- on your Notice of Registration from the CRA
- from your organization’s lawyer
