📢 Calling all charities! As the holiday season approaches, the ripple effects of the Canada Post strike continue to hit our sector hard. The federal government must act NOW by extending the 2024 donations receipting period, giving Canadians the chance to make their year-end contributions despite these disruptions. While the sector has worked hard to gain support from MPs, recent political events have delayed progress on this straightforward solution. Imagine Canada, Cooperation Canada, and the Health Charities Coalition of Canada are calling on all organizations to join this advocacy effort by signing onto our open letter: https://lnkd.in/e6ccd9Cp Your voice matters—help us ensure the government takes action to support the charitable sector at this critical time.
