Which Canadian Registered Charities Spend Money on “political activities”
and how much do they spend?
By Mark Blumberg (December 4, 2012)
We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2011. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in September 2012 and covers about 81,000 charities (94% of Canadian registered charities) and their 2011 T3010 returns.
Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 “Did the Charity Carry on Political Activities During the Fiscal Year?” (line 2400) and “Enter the Total Amount spent by the Charity on these activities” (line 5000)
Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information.
Here is a list of Canadian registered charities that identified they carry on political
activities with their legal name, the province that the charity is based in, the total amount spent by the charity on political activities and the total amount spent on charitable
activities.
The total amount declared by charities on their T3010 that they spent on political
activities is approximately $21 million. To put that in perspective the charity sector spent over $200 billion in 2011 and for every $10,000 it spent on charitable activities it spent
$1 on political activities.
Also we have prepared a detailed article which discusses the unreliability of answers to the political questions on the T3010 entitled How accurate are the T3010 charity returns when it comes to political activities?:

22 Limitations and Caveats
There are a number of cautions in dealing with the information from the T3010. You can access on the CRA website directly information on each Canadian registered charity at:
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/charities/
As well, Imagine Canada has a website with some T3010 information at www.charityfocus.ca
1) The data in this note is based on the 2011 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return filings. Although all charities are supposed to file their T3010 within 6 months of their fiscal year end some file late or do not file at all and then will lose their charitable status. Depending on the data set from CRA not every charity may have filed their T3010 or been inputted yet.
2) Registered charities complete the T3010 and one person signs the form. The T3010
information is not independently verified by CRA when it is posted on the CRA site or placed in the CRA database.
3) Although an important legal document, the T3010 is often completed by volunteers or others who may have little understanding of the nuances of the Income Tax Act, who may have limited language skills, and who may not have easy access to the correct information and are often in a hurry to file the form to avoid deregistration. In the case of larger institutions who would generally be those who are hiring people with higher salaries the likelihood is greater than the average that the information will be accurately prepared by the institution and its accountants or finance staff.
4) The T3010s are filed with CRA and in many cases needs to be coded by hand at CRA which can also introduce mistakes. Only a small number of T3010s have 2D bar code technology which will eliminate most processing errors on CRA’s part. Canadian charities still cannot electronically file the T3010.
5) In some cases those completing the T3010 for a charity are deliberately deceptive. For example, an organizations knows that it has substantial fundraising or political expenses but chooses to put them under charitable etc. Or an organization claims pharmaceuticals that it can purchase for $50,000 are really worth $50 million.
6) Don’t rely on any of this information without checking with the charity and appropriate due
diligence as required.

7) The T3010 is a tax form completed according to guidance provided by the CRA in a Guide (T-4033) and also various other CRA guidances and policies. The information inputted may not conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and many not match what is in a financial statement. You can obtain copies of financial statements, whether audited or not, on any registered charity by requesting the financial statements from CRA. These financial statements are filed with CRA but not placed on the CRA website and they sometimes add further information.
8) The T3010 asks certain questions. Many important questions are not asked on the T3010.
Relying on the T3010 to make decisions on whether a charity is efficient or worthwhile to support is prone to failure. We have established a website at www.smartgiving.ca which discusses in detail questions donors may want to ask before donating to charity.
