Receiving gifts
Extension for making 2024 charitable donations to February 28, 2025
The CRA is administering the extension for 2024 charitable donations. This extends the deadline for making donations eligible for tax support in the 2024 tax year to February 28, 2025. Charities and other qualified donees should continue to issue official donation receipts according to the receipting rules.
For more information, go to Extension of the deadline for making 2024 charitable donations.
Caution: Gifts of services
A registered charity is not permitted to issue an official donation receipt for a gift of service. At law, a gift is a voluntary transfer of property. Gifts of services (donated time, skills, or efforts) provided to a charity are not property, and therefore do not qualify as gifts for the purposes of issuing official donation receipts. For more information, see Gifts of services and What is a gift?
