    Charity begins at home and quickly makes its way into Canada's boardrooms, schools, religious institutions and, eventually, law offices. As charitable and not-for-profit organizations become increasingly important vehicles for driving social support services and community goals, lawyers are likewise increasingly called upon to be able to offer an informed explanation about a variety of charitable issues to clients.
