In recent weeks, we have been helping many of our clients
navigate the extraordinary and often urgent challenges that they
are facing in their day-to-day operations due to COVID-19 on a wide
range of issues such as employment matters, fundraising, hosting
events and meetings, governance considerations, insurance and
liability, and ongoing financial concerns.
In addition to operational issues arising from this global
pandemic, many charities and non-profits also have questions about
the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on them from a
regulatory perspective.
Charities and non-profits are subject to complex corporate and
tax regulation that is overseen by a number of government agencies
at both the federal and provincial levels. In recent days, many
government departments have been releasing new information about
the impact of COVID-19 on the delivery of their services.
