We take a look at the issue of engaging in advocacy in this episode of Charity Chat. Assistant Commissioner Murray Baird explains advocacy and talks about where it can become a concern for charities. The discussion outlines the boundaries of charity advocacy, makes the distinction between a charity’s activities and its overarching purpose, and reiterates the need for charities to make sure their activities of advocacy are tied to their charitable purpose.
