One-time Donations
TIES is a Canadian registered charity with the CRA’s Charities Directorate so donations to TIES by Canadian taxpayers are eligible for an official donation receipt for Canadian income tax purposes.
Donate through PayPal – the lowest fee option for credit card payments, tax receipt for your donation
PayPal gives registered charities like TIES a very good rate for credit card processing. Just over 98% of your donation will reach us and go towards our projects. Please note that in order for us to issue an official tax receipt for income tax purposes, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires you to enter your complete name and address (even for an online donation). An official donation receipt for Canadian income tax purposes for the amount of your donation (for donations of $20 CAD or more) will be issued by email quarterly once processed by PayPal.
In a hurry? – donate through GoFundMe
Processing fees are higher with GoFundMe, but it’s fast and you may donate any amount. No tax receipt issued (unless you enter your full address and request one), so just enter your email address, card number, and done! Approximately 97% of your donation reaches us after processing fees. Please check the box that says “Share my donation information and contact details with this charity.” so that we can say thank you! (You may use the Donate Now button on our GoFundMe page to give to the greatest need, or scroll down the page to choose a fundraiser for a specific project.)
Options with no fees to us – tax receipt issued
There are two ways that you can make a one-time donation to TIES knowing that 100% of your donation will go towards our projects. You may write an old school, paper cheque and drop it in the mail to us at the address on our Contact page. Or donate by Interac e-Transfer. (Just call us or use our Contact form to request complete instructions.)
Monthly donations
We would greatly appreciate it if you would contact us before setting up your monthly donation plan to discuss options so that more of your donation reaches us after fees, and you get your receipt automatically. Alternatively, you may turn your donation into a sponsorship by checking the monthly donation box in our PayPal donation form; just click below.
