Charitable immunity is a legal doctrine which holds that a charitable organization is not liable under tort law. It originated in 19th-century Great Britain.[1][2] Between the 1940s and 1992, almost every state in the United States had abrogated or limited the charitable immunity doctrine.[3][4] The doctrine has also been abandoned in Britain and Canada.[5]
