What We Do
CanadaHelps is a fast-growing, mission-driven technology organization and public foundation. We build innovative technology that empowers all charities to easily fundraise online, as well as connect all Canadians to give to the charities and causes they care about.
We’ve been a critical part of Canada’s charitable sector since 2000, processing about a third of all online donations in Canada. In 2020 alone, Canadians donated over $480 million through CanadaHelps. We work directly with nearly 25,000 Canadian charities to help them thrive in the digital age.
Our Mission
To inform, inspire and connect donors and charities, and to democratize access to effective technology and education in the charitable sector.
Our Vision
We envision a society in which all Canadians are committed to giving and participating in the charitable sector, and in which all charities, regardless of size, have the capacity to increase their impact.
Our Values
LEAD WITH THE MISSION
We share a passion for our work, for the success of the charities and donors we serve, and for the potential of technology to create a better world.
DO THE RIGHT THING
We behave honestly and ethically when dealing with people inside and outside the organization. We treat people with respect and fairness, and cultivate an atmosphere where people can be themselves.
ASPIRE FOR MORE
We are a group of ambitious people who are committed to learning in action. We are resourceful, nimble, and not held back by small-picture thinking because we know there is so much more impact we can achieve.
OWN IT
We are focused on results, and take ownership for our own work, that of our team, and for the success of the organization as a whole. We exercise good judgement, and step up and propose solutions.
CUT COMPLEXITY
We strive to do things simply, and believe perfect is the enemy of good. We want to eliminate bureaucracy and reduce complexity in thinking, processes, design, and decision making.
MAKE EACH OTHER BETTER
We recognize the interdependence of our work and collaborate to succeed and help each other grow. We share our ideas, information and expertise, and we are open to receiving feedback. We speak up no matter what.
BE STRATEGIC
We are proactive. We make smart, deliberate choices based on a thoughtful assessment of context, mission, sustainability, and impact, while acting with a sense of urgency.
