Not yet. It just means that we have been recognized as a chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation, and we have a federal not-for-profit corporation to administer the chapter. Getting recognition from the CRA for tax deduction purposes may take another six months. If you still want to give us money we will be glad to accept it through our PayPal account, but can't give receipts until we have been recognized as a charity.

Thank you and congratulations. Does this mean that the Canadian chapter is now a CRA registered charity for those of us who wish to donate? If so, is it possible to provide the proper name and contact information for making a donation? Thanks Eric
