Securities Donation
A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient way to give charitably since the capital gains tax does not apply. Your security or mutual fund donation means a larger donation for the Humanitarian Coalition and a larger charitable donation receipt for you. All securities donations are processed through Canada Helps, who completes the sales and provides you with the donation receipt for the value of your donation.
Monthly Donor Program
All monthly donations are allocated to our Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund (CHAF), which allows us to quickly answer the call to help, regardless of whether that particular earthquake, flood or refugee surge makes the headline news. The reality is that the majority of disasters get little to no media attention, so people don't even have the chance to donate and help survivors. By donating to the CHAF, you can find out about these lesser known disasters and know you are already making a difference and helping survivors rebuild their communities.
How the Monthly Donor Program Works
Go to our donation page to sign up for your monthly gift by selection monthly amount and completing the donation form. Twice a year you will receive updates on the projects that are being funded through your donations. Each February, you will receive an annual donation receipt, which can be used for tax purposes. Your credit card is charged on the 1st or the 15th of every month and you can contact us at any time to modify or stop your monthly gift.
If you are a monthly donor looking to update your information, you can do so online with this form.
Your Impact
Your donation can really add up over a year!
$12.50 a month x 12 = $150
You could provide shelter kits for 2 families
$25 a month x 12 = $300
You could provide food for 1 family for an entire year
$17 a month x 12 = $204
You could provide 2 families with fresh water for a full year
$50 a month x 12 = $600
You could provide milk to treat a severely malnourished child for 9 months
$1 donated = $10 to help survivors. For every dollar donated to the CHAF, $10 go towards the project.
In 2017, we were able to quickly mobilize more than $3.2 million to reach 131,000 people through 11 vital projects around the world.
