Church Office in a Box

• Church Office in a Box (COiB) was created in 2011 by, and for the use of, theMennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC). It was adapted from the original Office in a Box (OIB) created by Charity Central Essentials and the Legal Resource Centre of Alberta Ltd. (LRC) in 2010.
• COiB assists the congregations of Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick) in improving voluntary compliance with the Canada Revenue Agency’s requirements for registered charities. Specifically, these churches are aided in more accurately and easily complying with the Income Tax Act’s requirements to maintain adequate books and records.
• COiB could also be of assistance to churches of other denominations and faiths.
• COiB is funded through a grant from the Mennonite Foundation of Canada.
