Charity Central Essentials

Charity Connector - Online Forum

Together with the Volunteer Centre of Camrose and District, Charity Central Essentials is developing a new, easy-to-use online forum so that you can connect with your peers and to an excellent base of information any time you want.

Introductory info sessions on the Charity Connector forum had been delivered in Camrose, Viking and Killam.

Office in a Box

A collection of resources to equip charities with the basic administrative infrastructure needed to comply with the Income Tax Act.

Among the resources, you will find description of all the things you need to keep; samples: blank forms; a place to file your documents, tips, checklists, key definitions and other ways to enhance the awareness and capacity of your board of directors, volunteers and staff.

Promising Practices

A way for charities to come together in person and share how they do what they do best.

There is always too much information and too little time... yet, you still must do a good job behind the scenes of you organization to keep your charitable status. Practically speaking, what do you do? How do you it?
