OCIC, myself and Capacity Builders will be organizing a free one hour webinar entitled “Haiti - Legal and Ethical Issues for Canadian charities responding to the earthquake” As we are all aware with the earthquake in Haiti, Canadians have responded quickly and donated generously. Canadian charities have received record contributions to help with the disaster in Haiti. Many of the charities raising funds for Haiti have never operated in Haiti and/or been involved in disaster assistance. We have learned from past disaster responses in post-conflict areas that good intentions and money are not enough. Join charity lawyer Mark Blumberg (editor of http://www.globalphilanthropy.ca) as he highlights some of the top legal and ethical challenges facing Canadian registered charities operating in Haiti. From Income Tax Act rules to ethical dilemmas it is important that charities are aware of these and other issues.
