75% Informative
Grace Christian Chapel and Faith & Action Mission Society each had their charitable status revoked by the Canada Revenue Agency in November .
Both organizations have for several years listed the same five -member board of directors and been led by Rev. Stephen Sai-Fung Lee .
Both charities have told the revenue agency, known as the CRA , that they will appeal the revocations.
The CRA alleges that following audits, it believed Grace Christian was not operated “exclusively for charitable purposes and activities, including allocating over $3,000,000 to non-charitable activities.
Over the past five years , the CRA has completed an average of 206 audits of Canadian charities annually .
In 2024 , only 20 charities across Canada had their status revoked by the CRA for non-compliance.
