Charities Requesting funds Every year CSB disburses funds to local registered charities based on the appeals we receive from them. One Committee member is responsible for evaluating both the appeals and the charities in order to make an informed recommendation to the Committee. If you are a local registered charity that would like to be considered for funds, or if you are an individual who knows of a charity you would like CSB to consider, each charity must have a tax free number. Requests for funds, which must include the tax free number, should be submitted by THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.
