Here’s What’s Next"},"content":{"rendered":"

Did you recently achieve charitable status with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA)? Congratulations! CanadaHelps\u2019 has a treasure trove of expertise to help new charities like yours kick-start operations.<\/p>\n

Here are five important actions new charities can take to start fundraising, help establish brand awareness and ignite marketing efforts.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

1. Create a CanadaHelps Online Charity Profile \ud83d\uddb1\ufe0f<\/h2>\n

After you become a registered charity, fill out your CanadaHelps Charity Profile page. The Charity Profile page has features that help donors find, understand, and differentiate your organization.<\/p>\n

The Charity Profile showcases how your organization makes a positive difference in the world to potential donors. Social proof, such as donor testimonials, funds raised, and campaign details, displays examples of your charity’s impact and gives your organization credibility.\u00a0Claim your Charity Profile here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

2. Brand Your Customizable Donation Forms \ud83d\udcc3<\/h2>\n

An initial step to optimize your donor experience involves adding custom branding to your CanadaHelps donation forms.<\/p>\n

Customization strengthens your organization’s brand recognition. Our features allow charities to pick the Donation Form colours to correspond with your brand. Users can upload a background image, select buttons and links, and enter title bar text.<\/p>\n

Charities have the option to\u00a0embed Customizable Donation Forms<\/a>\u00a0directly into their websites. Giving donors who donate through your web portal a seamless donation experience.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

3. Jump-Start Tax Receipting for Donations \ud83d\udcb0<\/h2>\n

One of the primary responsibilities charities have is issuing tax receipts for donations. The CRA requires tax receipts for every donation charities take in. Individual and corporate donors use these receipts to reduce taxable income.<\/p>\n

It takes time and effort for new charities to understand taxation rules and how to follow them. For a charity just starting out, setting up the automatic issuing of CRA-compliant receipts offloads a crucial and repetitive process.<\/p>\n

CanadaHelps can streamline your tax receipting processes. When a donation is made to your charity through our tools, donors are immediately issued a tax receipt. We are one of the few CRA-certified donation processors for the Canadian market.<\/p>\n

Automatic tax receipting also enhances your donor experience by providing real-time acknowledgment of the contribution.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

4. Personalize Your Donor Communication \ud83d\udc8c<\/h2>\n

Personalizing donor communication is a cornerstone of building your charity\u2019s unique brand voice. It is one piece of what leaves your donors with a memorable experience.<\/p>\n

CanadaHelps Donation Form tool allows charities to set up a custom Thank-You message. The message will appear at the top of the email acknowledging their gift. One-time and monthly donors receive your custom message.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

5. Make Use of CanadaHelps Brand Equity \ud83d\udcda<\/h2>\n

As a leader in the Canadian charitable landscape for over 21 years, new charities are encouraged to take advantage of CanadaHelps’ brand power\u00a0and knowledge bank.<\/p>\n

CanadaHelps’ has a vast archive of charitable resources. From guides to ebooks and online courses, leverage our resources to accelerate your growth. Plenty of these resources are specifically designed for charities that are just starting.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n
