not really. any association can ask for donations. they only need to register with the revenuers IF they want to give tax-deductible receipts, and they can't give you anything (like tickets to a game), if the donation is to be deductible.
called around 3:30pm and left message "Hello, (pause) can you hear me okay?"
sounded like a machine more than a person.
Call all you want - I still won't answer...but really you should find a real job and make an honest dollar.
So this phone number just called and identified themselves as the Canadian Police Association. They said they were trying to raise funds for bullied children. The guy just went into this pitch and didn't even ask for anyone. I told him I couldn't approve any payment and that we weren't interested...the number wasn't even local to our area so it didn't make sense to me. ANNOYING!
