With a proposed extension for 2024 donation deadlines, there’s a unique opportunity for nonprofits and donors alike. Did you know the Canadian government is considering extending the deadline for 2024 charitable donations to February 28, 2025, due to the Canada Post strike? This could be a win-win for donors and charities! In this video, I’m sharing tips on how nonprofits can navigate this opportunity to inspire giving while helping donors maximize their tax benefits.

Thanks for the post, Paul Nazareth, MFA-P, and the shout-out! This is an excellent article pointing out the pros and cons. This could be a strong opportunity for charities to encourage donations in Jan/Feb, it will provide administrative headaches, AND there is uncertainty around whether donors will be able to claim the donation in 2024, or whether it will be claimed in 2025. Another example of the importance of administrative strength, strong systems, and appropriate #charityoverhead to handle things!

*TAX RECEIPT EXTENSION NOT COMPROMISED BY PROROGATION* We have received questions regarding the timing of the legislation for the tax receipt extension. The prorogation won't affect the deadline or the spirit of the announcement made by the government to extend the deadline. The intent to introduce legislation is what allows CRA to count the receipts accordingly. Organizations and donors need not be worried by the fact that the legislation will be passed after the tax receipt extension. The eventual legislation was intended to be applied retroactively, and the prorogation doesn't change that. In fact, in 1997 when the federal government announced a similar measure for that year's postal strike, the bill that eventually implemented the month-long extension into January 31, 1998, wasn't passed until 1999. We are working with the Department of Finance on a FAQ for charities which we will share as soon as possible. *LA PROROGATION DU PARLEMENT NE COMPROMET PAS LE REPORT DE LA DATE LIMITE POUR LES DONS* Nous avons reçu des questions concernant le fait que la loi ne sera pas adoptée avant la fin de la période de report des reçus de dons de bienfaisance pour l’année 2024. La prorogation du parlement n’affectera pas ce report ou l’esprit de l’annonce du gouvernement de reporter la date limite. C’est l’intention d’introduire ce changement à la législation qui permet à l’Agence du revenu du Canada d’accepter les reçus émis jusqu’au 28 février 2025. Les organismes et les donateurs.trices n’ont pas à s’inquiéter du fait que la loi sera adoptée après la fin de la période de report. Il était prévu que cette législation soit appliquée de façon rétroactive and la prorogation n’y change rien. Quand le gouvernement fédéral avait annoncé une mesure similaire en raison de la grève des postes en 1997, la législation qui avait permis un report d’un mois pour les reçus d’impôt jusqu’au 31 janvier 1998 n’avait pas été adoptée avant 1999. Nous travaillons avec le département des finances sur un FAQ pour les organismes de bienfaisance que nous partagerons le plus tôt possible.
