T1235 – Directors/Trustees and Like Officials Worksheet

Official Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) form used by registered charities to provide detailed information about their directors, trustees and similar officials as part of the annual charity information return. ([canada.ca](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/t1235.html))

Purpose of Form T1235

Form T1235 is a worksheet completed by a registered charity to identify its board of directors, trustees and like officials for a given fiscal period. This information is submitted with the charity’s annual information return (Form T3010). Only some of the information becomes publicly available (e.g., names and positions), while other details remain confidential.

Who Needs to Complete It

All registered charities in Canada must complete Form T1235 for their fiscal period, providing details about individuals who served as directors, trustees or comparable officials during that period. It supports transparency and accountability in the charity sector and helps CRA maintain accurate records.

What Information Is Required

This worksheet generally collects the following details about each director, trustee or like official:

  • Full legal name;
  • Position or role within the charity;
  • Start and end dates of service;
  • Status regarding related or “arm’s length” relationships (if relevant);
  • Certain residential or contact details for identification.

Certain fields are labeled confidential and are not published publicly, while other information may be included in CRA’s List of Charities accessible to the public.

Downloading the Form

Alternate formats such as audio, electronic text, braille and large print are available upon request for accessibility.

Filing With the Annual Return

Form T1235 must be included with the charity’s T3010 Registered Charity Information Return. This ensures CRA has up‑to‑date information on individuals responsible for directing the charity’s activities. If you file online, you can often add this information directly, but a paper version must include the completed T1235 attached.
