Action: Group collects all donations, then transfers it to CASIEF as one payment. Are issued individual receipts.
For group donations, we require specific documentation from the group issuing the cheque in order to be able to issue individual charitable tax receipts (otherwise the donation is from the group and the receipt goes to the group).
The documentation is in the form of a cover letter from the group with the cheque specifying the following:
- the group has collected the funds from the individuals and is sending them jointly to CAS IEF
- the individuals are not receiving any other charitable receipts for the donation
- the individuals are not receiving any other receipt that can be used as an expense
- the group itself will not be claiming the amount on its books as donation or expense
- The letter should direct CAS IEF to issue a receipt to each person: provide a list with name and the amount that each individual has contributed.
- The letter should also specify if the charitable tax received should be mailed directly to individuals or mailed to the group distribution to the individuals within the group
