Helping mission-driven organizations strengthen accountability, sustainability, and community impact

Not-for-Profit Expertise Built Through Community Involvement

For more than 55 years, Crowe MacKay LLP has worked alongside the not-for-profit and charitable organizations that serve communities across Northern and Western Canada. Our clients include local, regional and national organizations, from charities and foundations to Indigenous organizations, housing providers, schools and community service groups.

Our team brings extensive experience in the not-for-profit sector, with many of our partners and professionals actively serving on not-for-profit boards. Combined with our deep knowledge of funding, reporting, and compliance requirements, this allows us to deliver practical, strategic advice that helps organizations remain accountable, sustainable, and focused on creating lasting community impact.

Deep Not-for-Profit Sector Experience

Not-for-profit organizations are at the heart of our practice. We work with local, regional, and national organizations across a range of sectors, giving us deep insight into the common challenges they face.

From Indigenous organizations and housing providers to health, education, charitable, and foundation sectors, our experience allows us to provide practical guidance that helps organizations strengthen operations, advance their mission, and create lasting impact.

We Understand the Sector from the Inside

Our involvement in the sector goes beyond client work. Across the firm, our partners and team members volunteer as board directors, treasurers, audit committee members and community leaders for local not-for-profits.

Having sat on the other side of the table, we know what boards need from their financial information and what funders, members and communities expect. That perspective shapes our approach to governance, funding and accountability, well beyond the financial statements

Specialized Funding and Compliance Knowledge

Not-for-profit funding rarely comes with just one set of rules. Contribution agreements, grants, government programs and restricted funds each carry their own reporting and compliance conditions. Our team works with these arrangements regularly and helps organizations:

Prepare accurate, timely reports for funders
Get ready for, and work through, contribution agreement audits
Keep on top of changing compliance obligations
Build stronger internal controls
Stay onside with CRA rules for registered charities and non-profit organizations

It's specialized work, and it's where our experience makes a real difference.

Our Values

Giving back is an important part of who we are. As part of our commitment to investing in our communities, our team members dedicate their time and talents to causes and organizations across Northern and Western Canada.

Many serve and support the same sectors we work with professionally, allowing us to contribute in meaningful ways beyond our client relationships. Together, these efforts create a lasting impact in the communities we serve.
