Our Fees
Our Fees in Processing Donations
CanadaHelps is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to increase charitable giving, and it’s critical to our mission that we pass along as much as possible out of every dollar we collect.
We’re a self funded registered charity.
Less than 3% of your donation ensures CanadaHelps can continue to provide charities with affordable access to online fundraising and educational tools.
You receive a tax receipt for 100% of the value of your donation. The charity receives the amount of your donation less our processing fee.
Online charitable gifts are subject to transaction processing fees from banks, credit card companies, and/or supporting brokerage firms. For simplicity, our fees include the payment processing costs.
