Find another type of qualified donee
Only Canadian registered charities and other qualified donees can issue official donation receipts that allow donors to claim a charitable tax credit (individuals) or deduction (corporations) on their tax return. However, they are not obligated to do so.
Make sure to ask the organization if there are any circumstances where they won’t provide a receipt. Without a receipt, you can’t claim a charitable tax credit or deduction.
