Charity Registration Number: 895569044 RR0001
Spending of funds is confined to Board-approved programs and purchases. Each gift designated toward an approved program will be used as designated with the understanding that when any given need has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason, designated gifts will be used within the local satellite where needed most.
According to Canada Revenue Agency rules, a registered charity cannot return a donation. A gift transfers ownership of the money or other gifted property from the donor to the charity. Once the transfer is made, the charity is obliged to use the gift in carrying out its charitable purposes.
