Donate Now: Once or Monthly

In just a few minutes, you can make a difference supporting any Canadian charity.

Just find the charity’s page on our site and make the donation that fits your needs.

Donate once or schedule monthly donations to help both you and the charity plan ahead. If you’d like to dedicate your donation, we’ll even send an e-card to announce your gift. Pay for your donation using your credit card or PayPal™ account. We’ll e-mail your tax receipt right away and deliver your donation to the charity.

Nothing could be more simple … except maybe storing your tax receipts and favourite charities in your CanadaHelps account. That way, they’re always ready when you are.

The first step is finding the right charity. So get started.

Find Your Charity

Donate Cryptocurrency

You can make a meaningful difference with a cryptocurrency donation to your favourite charity. Donate bitcoin or ether to any of Canada’s 86,000 charities in just moments with one easy transaction.

It’s quick, easy, and secure. We sell your crypto quickly and provide you with a tax receipt for the fair market value. Plus, we buy carbon credits that are registered to offset the carbon emissions from the transaction.

Donate Securities or Mutual Funds

Do you own securities or mutual funds that have increased in value since you bought them? Then making a direct donation of those shares is a more tax-efficient way to support your favourite charities.

A direct donation of your securities or mutual fund shares adds up to a larger donation to the charities you support. That’s really good news for them. It’s also good news for you because a larger donation means a larger charitable tax receipt and that makes a difference on your own tax return at the end of the year.

We’re pleased to be the first in Canada to offer direct donations of securities and mutual funds.

Give a Charity Gift Card

Nothing feels quite as good as giving. Now it’s easy to share those good feelings with someone special.

A CanadaHelps Charity Gift Card is the perfect gift for any occasion: birthdays, graduations, weddings or at any time during the holiday season. You pick the amount and the design, and the recipient picks which charities to support.

We’ll deliver your card and personal message via e-mail, or you can print it out and deliver it yourself.

Share the gift of giving.

Support Humanitarian Crisis Relief

When people face devastating conditions, whether at home or abroad, it’s natural to want to help. That said, when situations emerge requiring emergency relief – whether a natural disaster, the result of escalation in conflict zones, or a health emergency – it can be challenging to assess where to direct your support for maximum impact. As part of our nonprofit mission to increase giving and support charities and donors, CanadaHelps provides a Crisis Relief Centre. It’s a go-to destination for giving during humanitarian disasters that provides access to the latest news and a trusted list of registered Canadian charities – large and small – providing relief. Quickly identify the type of relief each charity is providing, select the effort you most want to support, and easily and securely donate online in confidence that your gift is going to the right place.
