Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act Resources (Free)

The Ontario government is modernizing the law that governs how nonprofit organizations operate. The new law is called the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, or the ONCA. CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario) has produced a resource site to support nonprofit organizations as they prepare for the ONCA. The project focuses on the needs of small and medium-sized charities and public benefit organizations.

Charity Law Information Program Resources (Free)

The Charity Law Information Program, or CLIP, was a two-year project managed by Capacity Builders and made possible by a financial contribution of the Canada Revenue Agency. The project’s goal was to help charities become more aware of their legal obligations under the Income Tax Act.  Although the project ended in March 2012, we have archived below many of the project's resources, webinars and podcasts.
