Register for the challenge below, and rally your donors around this limited-time opportunity to boost your summer donations.
What is the Great Canadian Giving Challenge?
The Great Canadian Giving Challenge is a month-long contest to help you fundraise during the slow summer months when donations tend to decline. Since 2015, the Great Canadian Giving Challenge gives you a reason to engage your donor base, attract new donors, and have the chance to win a major prize donation from CanadaHelps.
Here’s how it works:
Once you register to participate, every dollar donated to your charity in June, via CanadaHelps.org or CanadaHelps fundraising tools such as Customizable Donation Forms, Ticketed Events, and Peer to Peer Fundraising, becomes an entry for a chance to win one of two $10,000 donations*. Every charity using CanadaHelps is automatically entered with no registration required. All you have to do is fundraise. The more you raise, the greater the chances you have to win!
