Testimonials

Jennifer Yetman

Kids Eat Smart Foundation

Our Foundation uses the custom online donation forms to assist us in our fundraising efforts. They are easy to set up and are user friendly for our donors. It is a wonderful tool to use.

Courtney McLaughlin

Calgary Public Library Foundation

Prior to joining CanadaHelps, our organization faced the problem many nonprofits do - how do we collect donations easily, quickly issue tax receipts and make it all look attractive, with our limited resources and small team? Canada Helps solved all these problems! CanadaHelps provides a holistic solution to donation management.

Brandon Dean

Critter Care Wildlife Society

It's easy to set up campaigns and funds. Being able to customize the forms to match our brand was a huge bonus for us.

Jeff Adams

Lifewater Canada

We wanted to offer our donors a seamless shift from the pages on our site to the donation page on the Canada Helps site, plus donation options that were appropriate for our project needs and donors' preferences. We chose Canada Helps because it offered us the opportunity to develop a donation form that would be clearly identifiable as Lifewater Canada's form.
