Canada revoked Greenpeace's charitable status in 1989 citing that it has no public benefit. They then established a legal work around shortly after, but the charitable status of that was also revoked in 1995. You can still donate in Canada, but you can't get any tax break from it.
Why did Greenpeace get their charitable status revoked? They are a non profit after all.
"This opinion resulted from an audit which raised serious concerns about the charity's compliance with the Income Tax Act. The audit revealed that the charity had failed to devote all its resources to charitable activities."

Failed to devote all its resources to charitable activities.
Nice, so when they pressure citizens on the street to donate money to save the environment, what do they spend the money on? I might be ignorant, but Greenpeace is a liar.
Want to donate to a non-profit that devotes 100% of revenue towards the environment?
