Rock your giving season effortlessly
Find all the tips, templates, and inspiration for your year-end giving housed in one place.
Giving season is the most wonderful time of the year. It is a time when generosity is in full swing in every form. But, for Canada's 86,000 charities, we know that it is also a critical time of year, where some are raising up to a third of their annual donation revenue.
We are here to make it easier by providing step-by-step guides, resources, and inspiration from other charities that have walked the same steps.
Start Giving Season strong by planning for GivingTuesday. In 2025, over $16 million was donated through CanadaHelps on GivingTuesday.
