Gifts in Kind That May be Ineligible

In Canada, the following cases should be avoided as they may not qualify as a gift:
a) a company wants to donate their services to your church or organization
b) an individual wants to buy something for your church or organization

Instead, you should tell a company that your church or organization can accept donations as follows:
a) The church or organization will use their services and ask them for a bill.
b) Your church or organization will pay the bill.
c) The company can make a donation for an amount equivalent to the bill total.

You should tell an individual that your church or organization can accept donations as follows:
a) The church or organization will pay for the item.
b) The individual can then make a donation for an amount equivalent to the cost of the item.

For more details, please consult with your accountant, the Canada Revenue Agency or
the Canadian Council of Christian Charities at www.cccc.org or 1-519-669-5137.
