As a non-profit, our fees are a fraction of for-profit alternatives. So donation dollars go further and work harder when donors give using CanadaHelps!

The first is to simply create or log in to your donor account, access your account settings, and scroll down to the section called “Your Payment Information”. Y

CAN I TRUST THE SECURITY OF THE CANADAHELPS PLATFORM?
Absolutely. We work hard to keep all of your information safe and secure. CanadaHelps complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). That means we spend a lot of our time and resources on updating the security of our payment processes. As part of that compliance, we don’t actually store your credit card information on our servers, but can recall your encrypted information in order to save you time when you donate. We protect your other information, too. We’ll never share your personal information with any charity unless you ask us to, and even then only if that charity has signed our privacy agreement. If you’d like a more detailed explanation, please take a look at our Privacy Policy.
How Do I GEt A TAX RECEIPT FOR MY MONTHLY DONATIONS?
By default, no receipt will be issued for monthly donations before the start of a new year, when we automatically generate the receipts and send you an email so you can download it. There is no action required on your part to make this happen.
If, however, you require a tax receipt for donations made so far in the year, or are putting a stop to your donations and want a receipt right away, you can log into your donor account, access the “Donations & Receipts” tab, and click on the “Generate Receipt” button to create a tax receipt for all the donations without a receipt in your account.
