CRA has had an alphabetical index of all policies and guidance relating to charities. This is a very helpful tool for charities wanting to see if CRA has a position on a particular issue. The only problem with the list is that for a lay person they often do not know which guidance is related to the issue at hand and sometimes useful information is hidden in the appendix of a guidance. Some of the material is also dated or picayune and not of much relevance to charities just wanting to operate with the legal requirements of the Income Tax Act.
