PAYMENT OF ATHLETE REGISTRATION FEES
Junior and Open Athletes: In accordance with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), a payment applied to an athlete’s registration fee IS NOT ELIGIBLE for a charitable tax receipt.
Masters’ Athletes: The maximum allowable amount (to be determined following the conclusion of the Games) IS ELIGIBLE for a charitable tax receipt. The charitable tax receipt will be issued only after the Games.
CHARITABLE RECEIPTS FOR DONATIONS MADE TO A TEAM OR SPORT
Donations in support of a team or sport ARE ELIGIBLE for charitable tax receipts.
HOWEVER, if the donor is 1st Party to an athlete, the amount an athlete receives (in accordance with the allocation policy below), will be deducted from the donor’s charitable tax receipt, unless that athlete opts out of the team’s fundraising OR does not qualify as an active fundraising member of the team.
To be considered an active fundraising member of the team, an athlete must have raised a minimum of $1,000 for their team by December 1, 2024
1st Party donors are defined by CRA as:
Charitable receipts to 1st Party donors cannot be issued until after the Games when team fundraising pool allocations have been made and the eligible charitable amount of the donor’s receipt can be determined.
1st Party donations to a team that are paid in 2024 cannot be receipted until after the Games in 2025.
ALLOCATION OF DONATIONS MADE TO A TEAM OR SPORT
Team and sport fundraising consists of funds contributed to a specific team or sport to be used in support of ALL active fundraising members of the team or sport.
For greater clarity, donations to a team or sport CANNOT be directed to a specific athlete.
Who is an active fundraising member?
To be considered an active fundraising member, a participant must raise a minimum of $1,000 for their team by December 31, 2024. Athlete’s are then eligible to receive proceeds from the team’s fundraising pool.
Team members can opt out of receiving funds from the team’s fundraising pool if they feel they do not require or want financial assistance. If an athlete does opt out, they are still encouraged to fundraise for the team to help teammates who might require financial assistance.
Donations raised in support of the team will be distributed equally among active fundraising members of the team (excluding those who opt out). Distributions may not benefit any specific team member or subset of team members more than others, irrespective of individual team member fundraising results. In cases where an individual may require additional financial support and it is in the best interest of the team to provide that support, a coach can make an application to the Financial Assistance Committee for permission to make an uneven distribution of funds from the team pool.
If the allocation of the team fundraising pool is greater than the amount of the final payment, the team member will have two options:
(i.)The team member can donate the additional money to Maccabi Canada and receive a charitable tax receipt for any 1st Party payment greater than the total participation cost; or
(ii.)The team member can request a refund for any 1st Party payments equal to the amount greater than the total registration fee.
