Cat at my rescue is sick I need donations!
Just because they put up a web site doesn't mean that her rescue is
legitimate. I'm not sure what the laws are in Canada but if they are similar to the United States then she will need to file as a non-profit and pretty much file the right paperwork in order to become legal. Here are a few sites that she might want to read. http://www.charityvillage.com/cv/guides/guide4.asp http://www.managementhelp.org/strt_o...np/strt_np.htm While her wanting to rescue cats is noble she really should file the necessary documents in order to be listed and become a legal non-profit. Without doing that, she's going to have a lot of people question her group's existance when they ask for her non-profit tax ID or filing status number. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

She's in Canada. The IRS is an alien organization. Foreign laws do not apply in Canada. She is breaking no Canadian law. She is young and naive, but honestly rescuing cats. Anybody can ask for money. You don't need charitable status to do so. This being said, it would be wise of Laura to get charitable status since this would make people more likely to donate. I would also suggest that she gets together with like minded people and form a larger organization, one more likely to get discounts from more vets due to buying power. She seems to be a "lone wolf" at this point in her activities. |
