Community foundations are unique among registered charities. With a dual role as both grantmakers and fundholders, community foundations manage a diverse portfolio of endowed, flow-through, and operating funds, while also distributing grants that reflect community priorities and needs. This complexity makes it especially important to ensure accurate and transparent reporting to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

One of the key ways to uphold public trust is by understanding and properly filing the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return. For community foundations, navigating the T3010 can be complex. 

In this session, you will:

• Receive community foundation-specific guidance on the requirements of the T3010.
• Understand recent CRA reporting changes and their implications for community foundations.
• Learn strategies for timely filing that support strong governance and compliance.
• Explore common mistakes made when completing the T3010, and how to avoid them.
• Gain practical tools and resources to strengthen transparency, accountability, and stakeholder trust.
