Your charities story will reach thousands of potential donors when you place an advertisement with us. The cost is more than reasonable as our ad pricing runs between $300.00 to $1500.00 depending on the size of your ad. For a fraction of the price of a postage stamp, charities can reach every law firm, Trust Company and funeral home in Canada. Charities could not do a mailing to the same circulation for these prices. Charities need to reach the people who can help them - it's a marketing strategy for the charities that choose to be in the book.
Yes most definitely. Just click on the “Search for Charities” and it will take you to the list of participating organizations. Find the charity closest to your heart and then click on the “To Donate” button. It’s as easy as that.
Our site provides all the charities registered with the Canadian Government, together with their Business Number. However, only the charities participating in The Canadian Book of Charities are able to receive donations from this site.
The charities themselves - we are simply a conduit - albeit a safe one. After a donation has been made, notification will be received by the charity who will then process the donation and send pertinent receipts, etc. It is our belief that the charities would prefer to control this themselves and donors would prefer to have a relationship directly with the charities with no third-party intervention.
Every charity in our publication is entitled to take advantage of this site at no cost and to receive donations on-line and there is absolutely no fee for the service we provide. There are absolutely no charges up front - no charges at the end. The only fee will be that the charities usually pay when someone uses their credit card to donate. So whether it's by phone or my donations-on-line - it makes no difference.
As in the publication itself, this site provides information on the tax benefits accrued when making gifts to charities.
The publication has a free circulation of over 20,000 to legal firms and
financial planners across Canada (notaries in Quebec). Its primary purpose is to
provide the legal profession with a tool to encourage bequests to the charities
when drawing up wills and to enable the charities to have an opportunity to tell
their story to the donors. With our website being prominent on the internet, the
opportunity is there for each and everyone to make donations clicking on search
button to the charities represented in the publication. You may also find any charity
registered in Canada by clicking on our "Search the Government Database".
