The Dos and Don’ts of Charitable Receipting (1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.) – $25
Did you know that 89% of registered charities were found to be improperly issuing official donation receipts
when audited by CRA? Join Mark Blumberg as he discusses charitable receipting and how to make sure that
your charitable status is not jeopardized. Following the session, you will be able to answer these questions
and many more:
