The 5-sentence takeaway is that sufficient documentation for grants is not too different from the documentation charities are required to show when exercising direction and control. However, one very significant difference introduced in the draft guidance is that charities use a risk-based analysis to determine what is necessary in the specific circumstances. High risk scenarios naturally require more due diligence, greater formality and structure to a grant agreement, and grantee reporting. Low risk scenarios, on the other hand, require a lot less background work and need not be as formal. While CRA makes very strong recommendations, there is more flexibility in how charities can demonstrate accountability for grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remind Me, What are Grants?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITA answers this question in s 149.1(1), as part of the definition of \u201cqualifying disbursement.\u201d A qualifying disbursement is any transfer of resources from a charity to a qualified donee (gift) or a non-qualified donee (grant) that meets certain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means a grant is the transfer of resources to a non-qualified donee, also called a grantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All qualifying disbursements, whether a gift or a grant, must further a charitable purpose of the charity; the charity must ensure it is applied exclusively to charitable activities in furtherance of (one of) its charitable purpose(s); and, the charity must maintain sufficient documentation to demonstrate the first two conditions are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve answered these and many more basic questions in our Member Resource, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/kbm\/Content\/operations\/direction-and-control\/qualifying-disbursements-2983051174.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qualifying Disbursements<\/a>.

They\u2019re all listed at the end of the post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/legal-2\/2022\/06\/27\/bill-c-19-has-passed-impact-on-direction-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bill C-19 Has Passed \u2013 Impact on Direction and Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221201-CRA-Granting-Guidance.png?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221201-CRA-Granting-Guidance.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221201-CRA-Granting-Guidance.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221201-CRA-Granting-Guidance.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Hands of a variety of shades of skin colour outlining the shape of a heart.<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the Draft Guidance Tell Us?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITA tells us the legal definition of qualifying disbursements (including grants) but it doesn&#8217;t tell us everything we need to know about making grants, most importantly, what documentation will be considered sufficient by CRA when a charity makes a grant. The draft guidance fills in these gaps and provides some context for how this impacts charities and how they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LANGUAGE OF GRANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITA uses the term \u201cqualifying disbursements.\u201d This term includes both gifts to qualified donees <em>and<\/em> making grants to non-qualified donees. Charities could already make gifts to qualified donees (other charities). This guidance focuses on grants to non-qualified donees (non-charities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GRANTS &amp; OWN ACTIVITIES (DIRECTION &amp; CONTROL)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance lists 7 differences between rules for grants and rules for \u2018own activities\u2019 (direction &amp; control):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Granting opens new opportunities and new ways to work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting allows for a collaborative, rather than a hierarchical relationship between the charity and grantee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting does not make the grantee a representative of the charity; it carries on its own programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting does not require that the activity be the charity\u2019s initiative; grants can support existing activities by a grantee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting does not require ongoing instructions from the charity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting does not require the charity to exercise direction and control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granting focuses on risk and accountability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RELATIONSHIPS CAN CHANGE FROM INTERMEDIARY TO GRANTEE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft guidance recognizes that \u201ca charity\u2019s relationship with a non-qualified donee may evolve, and the charity can convert its relationship with the non-qualified donee (for example, from an intermediary to grantee relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How? A charity needs to document the \u201cchange in its books and records and be sure to meet all requirements at the time of the change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION FOR MAKING GRANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CRA\u2019S FLEXIBLE APPROACH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Charities have to <strong>ensure<\/strong> and <strong>demonstrate<\/strong> in their books and records that it meets accountability requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CRA is taking a \u201creasonable and flexible approach when determining whether a charity has met the accountability requirements.\u201d The accountability tools CRA identifies are \u201cnot exhaustive and their suitability depends on the circumstances of individual grants.\u201d Where charities use different tools, they need to explain why in their books and records. Charities should also use a consistent approach to making grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CRA\u2019S RECOMMENDED PROCESS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four main steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>How does the grant further your charitable purposes?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the grant\u2019s risk level \u2013 low, medium or high?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What accountability tools should you use based on the risk level?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How should those accountability tools be applied to each grant?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP ONE: CHARITABLE PURPOSES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a familiar and consistent part of a charity\u2019s operational decisions: does the proposed project, activity, grant, etc. further one or more of your organization\u2019s charitable purposes? If yes, how? Be sure to record these considerations and conclusions in your charity\u2019s books and records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP TWO: RISK ASSESSMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk factors (higher risk listed first) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charity\u2019s experience \u2013 no, some, or significant grant experience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grantee\u2019s experience \u2013 new grantee, some, or extensive programming experience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grant activity location \u2013 outside or inside Canada? Stable or unstable? Lack of, unreliable, or reliable infrastructure (banks, internet)? No, some, or extensive experience in that location?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grant amount \u2013 high ($25,000+), moderate ($5,000-$25,000), or low (up to $5,000)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private benefit concerns \u2013 significant, some or limited\/little concern?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nature of resources granted \u2013 susceptible to non-charitable use (cash, crypto, real property), somewhat susceptible (mix of cash and others) or not susceptible (textbooks, medical supplies)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grant duration \u2013 long term with no end date, long term with an end date (1-2 years) or short term (less than 1 year)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the risk level changes during the course of a grant, charities should re-visit their due diligence process to determine what changes, if any, should be made to the terms of the grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of increased risk include: financial collapse in nation\/region of activity, poor quality grantee reports, discovering private benefit, change in grantee\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of decreased risk include: financial stabilization, peace established in nation\/region of activity, strong track record with a grantee, grantee exceeds expectations, decreased value in charitable resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20210210-Direction-and-Control-02.png?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20210210-Direction-and-Control-02.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20210210-Direction-and-Control-02.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20210210-Direction-and-Control-02.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Chalkboard background; a hand holding a cell phone on each side with dollar bills drawn in white chalk in the shape of an arc between the phones.<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP THREE: ACCOUNTABILITY TOOLS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Due diligence review of the grantee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For due diligence, the higher the risk, the more extensive the review needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should charities assess?<\/strong> Charities should assess the grantee\u2019s purposes and mission, programs, history, reputation, staff, volunteers, associated people or entities, experience and capacity to carry on the grant activity, and the potential use of the grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can the review be done? <\/strong>Charities can do independent research, make in-person visits, have virtual meetings, request information from the grantee, review past grant outcomes, and read letters of reference\/support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if you already have a working relationship with the grantee? <\/strong>Charities that have \u201calready formed a successful working relationship with a grantee\u201d may not need to conduct an \u201cextensive\u201d review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if you can\u2019t do an extensive review? <\/strong>Charities \u201cmay wish to consult with experts, community leaders, or other charities\u201d about the risks and document the steps it does take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Description of grant activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For grant activity descriptions, the higher the risk, the more detailed the written description needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should charities describe?<\/strong> Charities should consider including the activity and charitable purpose(s) it furthers, location of grant operations, start and end dates, public benefit, how to address unacceptable private benefit, deliverables\/objectives, any third parties the grantee will use to carry out the activity, and any accountability tools that will be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where should the description be kept? <\/strong>Charities should keep the description in their books and records, review it with the grantee, and include it in any written agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Written agreement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For written agreements, higher risk requires a formal agreement, whereas lower risk agreements can be simple.Where less than $5000, documentation alone is likely sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why should charities use written agreements? <\/strong>It documents the grant, its charitable purpose and budget, it clarifies expectations, it confirms terms and conditions, and it keeps grants on track. CRA recommends that charities have a written agreement for every grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about grants less than $5000?<\/strong> For non-recurring grants written agreements may not be required. For \u201cvery low risk circumstances\u201d other documentation may be enough (emails, meeting minutes). If the grants will be ongoing (e.g. annually), CRA recommends a written agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if charities can\u2019t use written agreements?<\/strong> The charity should explain the reason in its books and records and have other documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should charities include in written agreements? <\/strong>Charities can include a myriad of information in a written agreement: legal names and addresses, signatures of authorized persons, signing date, intention to make a grant (versus intermediary), description(s) of activity, charitable purpose it furthers, location of activity, start and end dates of funding\/the relationship, reporting requirements, a right to inspect, periodic transfer of funds with and any applicable conditions, right to require return of unused resources, requirement of separately tracked funds, limit use of resources for only charitable purposes, effective date, and termination provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monitoring and reporting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For monitoring and reporting, higher risk requires detailed, written, and final (and possibly interim) reports. Lower risk would only need a simple, written, final report. CRA recommends that every grant require a final written report with supporting documentation (where appropriate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What kind of monitoring and reporting should charities do?<\/strong> Monitoring and reporting could include final reports with documentation, interim reports, expense receipts, financial statements, records of phone, email, and video communications, photos and videos, audit reports, and records from on-site visits by charity staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should a charity do with the reports?<\/strong> Charities should record in their books and records that they have reviewed the final reports, and briefly explain why they are satisfied with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transfer schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For transfer schedules: higher risk requires a transfer schedule; it should likely be used for medium risk; and is a consideration for lower risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why should charities use a transfer schedule? <\/strong>Charities should use a transfer schedule because it allows a charity to mitigate losses if resources are not used according to the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if charities don\u2019t use a transfer schedule? <\/strong>The reason should be recorded in charities\u2019 books and records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Separately tracked funds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For separately tracked funds, all levels of risk should have this in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why should charities require separately tracked funds?<\/strong> Charities should require separately tracked funds because it helps them document use of the grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does it mean to have separately tracked funds? <\/strong>Separately tracked funds does not require separate books and records or a separate bank account. Instead, it means that the grantee can track the funds with enough detail to report back to the charity. It is preferable if the grant can be <em>separately<\/em> tracked in the grantee\u2019s books and records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LIMIT ON GRANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance confirms that charitable organizations can disburse no more than 50% of their income by way of gifts to qualified donees (other charities). Disbursing more means that the charity would be re-designated as a foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance also confirms that charitable organizations can disburse unlimited amounts by making grants to grantees (non-qualified donees).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PROHIBITION ON DIRECTED DONATIONS: CLARITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITA requires that charities cannot accept gifts that are expressly or implicitly conditional on the charity granting it to a specific recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance confirms that \u201cprovided a charity ensures it retains authority on the use of its resources, it will not be considered to be engaged in directed giving,\u201d even if a donor has indicated a preference for how the donation will be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does a charity ensure it retains authority on the use of its resources? Charities should clearly communicate that (1) they retain ultimate authority on how it uses its resources, and (2) they will not return the donation to donors if the donation is not used the way the donor prefers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the point of this prohibition? The purpose is to prevent a charity from existing \u201csolely \u2026 as a fundraising arm in Canada of an affiliate organization in another country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">REPORTING GRANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITA already set out the requirements for reporting: for every grant over $5,000, the granting charity must report the name of the grantee, the purpose of the grant, and the total yearly amount granted to the grantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about security concerns? Charities can apply to CRA to request that some of the information not be publicly disclosed \u201cif its release would place the charity, grantee, their staff, or volunteers in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POOLED GRANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft guidance outlines specific accountability tools that are expected of charities participating in pool grants. It also provides additional factors to determine whether the pooled grant is higher risk. If charities cannot use the recommended accountability tools, CRA \u201crecommends approaching pooled grants cautiously\u201d and that legal advice may be prudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GRANTING CHARITABLE GOODS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft guidance outlines specific accountability tools that are expected of charities granting charitable goods. It is a low-risk activity so long as the resources could only reasonably be used for charitable purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GRANTING REAL PROPERTY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft guidance outlines specific accountability tools that are expected of charities granting real property. It is a high-risk activity because it is very difficult to ensure that the property will be permanently used for charitable purposes. Where the risk of non-charitable use is \u201cgreater than the benefit that may be provided\u201d CRA\u2019s position is that the charity should not grant the property. CRA also recommends contacting the Charities Directorate before granting any real property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has posted draft guidance on Registered charities making grants to non-qualified donees.
