The elements that a "charitable organization" must include for registration purposes are als so defined in the Income Tax Act. All of the resources of the organization must be devoted to charitable activities and the organization must carry them out itself. Therefore, to qualify as charitable, the organization's purposes must be exclusively charitable. If charities could engage in a mixture of charitable and non-charitable purposes, there could be no certainty that donations to them would be channeled to the charitable purposes. In this way, charitable registrations can also be revoked once granted. Political purposes or objects are not charitable purposes. The rule that a charity cannot be established for political purposes does not mean that the charity cannot engage in "ancillary and incidental" political activities to further its charitable purposes. Just what ancillary political activities may be, and how much political activity may be carried out remains murky.eng
