CanadaHelps is a charity that helps charities. We ensure all Canadian charities – most notably the smallest ones that need it the most – have access to the online fundraising tools, technology, and education they need to succeed. Because we’re a charity, our fees are a fraction of those of the for- profit alternatives.
For donors, we offer a one-stop shop for supporting any registered Canadian charity online. CanadaHelps makes giving easy. Easily explore and discover new causes. Give once or monthly, donate securities, or increase your impact fundraising for charity. Enjoy instant or anytime access to all your charitable tax receipts.
At a glance: Trusted for over 17 years, over 18,000 charities rely on our non-commercial online fundraising platform and more than 1 million Canadians have given using CanadaHelps. We have a spotless record for safe and secure payment processing & instant tax receipting.
