Donations are processed by CanadaHelps, and as such, receipts are issued by CanadaHelps using their charitable number.

You may choose from several options for your tax receipt(s).

For one-time donations, these include:
  • one receipt for all donations made in a session;
  • separate receipts for all donations made in a session; or
  • one receipt at the end of the year for all donations made during the year.
Receipts for monthly donations are stored in your donor's account and can be generated at year's end.
