“Cost of Living: Charity at the Checkout”
CBC Cost of Living, July 3, 2022
A discussion with Danielle Nerman Producer of The Cost of Living on CBC on Checkout Philanthropy. You order a coffee and you give a loonie to a children’s foundation, or a toonie to a food bank at the grocery store. We’re often asked at the checkout counter to give money to charity — but is it a good deal for those charities? And who gets the tax receipt?

CBC – Radio Canada: Les organismes de charité à l’ère de la transparence
Les organismes de charité redoublent d’ardeur à la fin de l’année pour récolter le plus de dons possible. Cette compétition est d’autant plus féroce que les dons des Canadiens n’augmentent pas au même rythme que la population ces dernières années, selon le groupe CanaDon. Et cette surenchère peut décourager des donateurs constamment sollicités, qui voudraient parfois donner autrement
