Why Monthly Support Matters

A monthly gift gives a charity something one-time donations can’t: income it can count on. That reliability helps charities plan ahead, invest in lasting programs, lower their costs and build stronger ties with supporters like you.

Helping Charities Plan

One-time donations tend to spike during the holidays and tax season, then drop off. Monthly gifts even out those highs and lows, so charities can set budgets with confidence and make decisions based on community needs.

Supporting Long-Term Programs

Programs like mental health services, food security and habitat restoration can take years to show results. Steady funding lets charities commit to multi-year work and keep the skilled staff who make it succeed.

Lowering Fundraising Costs

Every appeal costs money to design, print, mail and promote. Because monthly donors don't need to be asked again and again, charities can send fewer requests and put more of each dollar toward their mission.

Strengthening Connections

As a monthly donor, you’re part of a charity’s work all year long. Many charities share regular updates and impact stories with their monthly supporters, so you can see what your generosity makes possible.

Questions about monthly giving?

How can I top up an existing monthly gift?

If you already have a monthly gift and want to increase your support, you can easily update it through your account. Manage your monthly donations.

Where are my monthly gifts managed?

All your monthly gifts are managed in one place: your CanadaHelps donor account. That includes gifts you set up on CanadaHelps.org and gifts made through a charity’s own donation form powered by CanadaHelps. Learn more about monthly giving.

Can I change, pause or cancel my monthly donation at any time?

Yes, you have complete flexibility. You can adjust your donation amount, pause your giving or cancel your monthly gift at any time through your CanadaHelps account.

When will my monthly donation be processed?

Your gift is processed automatically on the same day each month, matching the date of your initial donation.

How do charitable tax receipts work for monthly gifts?

Instead of sending a receipt for each payment, we combine all your monthly gifts into one official tax receipt, issued after the end of the calendar year for easy tax filing.
