Different Look, Still the CanadaHelps You Trust

You might have noticed a new look and feel to CanadaHelps

Including changes to our website, our refreshed logo, and updated colours and the way we communicate. These changes are designed to better reflect who we are today and make it easier to reach and connect Canadians with the charitable causes they care about.

Our new logo embodies the spirit of generosity, and the interconnectedness of both donors and charities in our business and in broader society.

While our colours maintain the blue of the past and celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of the nonprofit sector with a broadened colour palette. What hasn’t changed is our steadfast mission—to spark generosity that powers positive change.

For 24 years, CanadaHelps has been a trusted partner for charities and donors alike. These updates are part of our continued commitment to innovation and community impact.

Why Did We Change the Way We Look?

Last fiscal year, we decided to reinvest in and revitalize the CanadaHelps brand for the first time in more than 10 years. We are entering our 2025-2026 year with a cleaner, more cohesive, future-ready brand to leverage our current 25 years of trust and brand awareness, and to set us up for success as we move into the next 25 years of CanadaHelps.

Our goal is simple: to ensure our brand feels as connected, inspiring, and impactful as the work we all do to support Canada’s communities.

What to Expect: Improved Tools, Same Trusted Support

The CanadaHelps website, media and communications are receiving a branding upgrade. Alongside our updated branding, we’ve improved the way you use our tools and services to make generosity even easier:

Do you give to a charity? The rebrand hasn’t changed how you give – it’s simply a fresh new look to better reflect who we are and the impact we aim to create together. You’ll continue to enjoy your CanadaHelps account, streamlined donation processes, personalized giving options, and hassle-free access to your charitable receipts.

Do you manage a charity? Our platform remains as powerful as always, all of the tools, features and services you rely on remain the same. Our new look and feel is designed to better represent the work we do together and better energize engagement with your community.

Your voice matters – and we’re listening. Share your feedback here. As we continue to update our pages and features, you’ll be the first to know.
