Do police and fire groups have to register with the AGO’s Non-Profit Organizations/Public Charities Division?
Fraternal organizations, such as police and fire associations and unions, are generally not considered public charities and thus do not have to register and file annually with the Division. However, if fraternal organizations conduct fundraising activities which include a charitable purpose, they must then register and file annual financial reports with the Division. See Soliciting Funds for more information.
