The How (and WHY) of Supporting Non-Qualified Donees
Presenters: Aneil Gokhale, Toronto Foundation; Mohamed Huque, Toronto Foundation; Heather Keachie, Gardiner Roberts LLP
After years of advocacy from the nonprofit and charitable sector, the federal government has now enabled foundations and charitable organizations to make grants directly to non-qualified donees (NQDs). While this is a welcome change, many registered charities are still wary of granting to NQDs, unfamiliar with the new regulatory framework and uncertain what the administrative burden will be if they want to take advantage of this new option. Foundations particularly may have limited experience engaging with NQDs directly. But supporting NQDs is critical from an equity perspective: these are organizations often least resourced and closest to the challenges they're facing. Learn from a funder and charitable lawyer on how and why the new laws present an opportunity to make greater impacts in the charitable sector.
