I attended a social that was intended to raise funds for a “recognized” Canadian charity. Can I claim the cost of the tickets as a charitable donation?
Probably not. The cost to attend such an event could only be claimed if the charitable organization separated the admission cost portion from the donation portion, and issued a receipt for the amount qualifying as a donation. This is because a charitable donation must be a true gift without any consideration being received in return.
