The CRA Charities Listings

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) maintains the CRA Charities Listings to help you find and research charities that are of interest to you.

You can search the CRA Charities Listings on the CRA Web site to:

• determine whether a charity is registered under the Income Tax Act and therefore eligible to issue official donation receipts for income tax purposes;
• learn more about a charity's financial information (assets, liabilities, income, and expenditures) before making a donation;
• find out more about the activities of a registered charity; and
• find out how to contact a charity.
