In today’s humanitarian space, many great citizens are doing charitable work in the community without the advantage of operating under a registered society.

a. Some can’t afford registering a charitable society with CRA and lack the charitable architecture to run their own society.

b. Others need only temporary support for initiatives and projects.

c. And others need to kick off a charitable project quickly and cannot wait for any incorporation or registration.

This is where one turns to a charity ‘incubator’.

A charity incubator is a registered charity with a set of ‘articles of incorporation’ which describe the activities and programs of its society. This society has the mandate to carry out the activities outlined under CRA regulations, can receive charitable donations, can issue an income tax receipt for the donation and distribute funds to support its projects.

BRIDGES to charity is a company which facilitates the connecting of charity ‘incubators’ with charitable entrepreneurs and humanitarian projects.
