Under the Income Tax Act, charities are obligated to devote their resources to their own activities or to gift them to qualified donees. If they want to work with a non-qualified donee, they could do so if they have the appropriate contractual agreements in place, but the basic framework would still be that the registered charity would carry out its own activities through this intermediary. There are no circumstances under which a registered charity can simply hand over money to a non-qualified donee.
