Canada revokes charitable status from 2 Jewish nonprofits that work in Israel, By Asaf Elia-Shalev August 12, 2024
"...The Canada Revenue Agency did not publicly cite a reason for the revocations. But JNF disclosed two weeks ago that it was facing revocation and said the CRA determined that its mission was inconsistent with Canadian laws governing charitable activity. JNF has declined to release the CRA document explaining the revocation.
That CRA document and other details are expected to surface as part of a lawsuit recently filed by JNF against Canada’s minister of national revenue, who oversees the tax authority. Citing internal CRA files obtained through a public records request, the lawsuit claims the revocation decision was “flawed and fundamentally unfair.”
