Information for non-profit organizations and charities

The non-profit sector plays an important role in informing the direction of government decision-making, which is what the public expects. The LTA creates a level playing field where the work of all parties who inform public policy – businesses, non-profits, charities, and others – are given equal treatment. Through the Lobbyists Registry, the public can see which organizations engage public office holders in an attempt to influence broader public policy.
