Note from CCCC:
Haiti Earthquake Matching Contributions
On January 14, 2010, the Government of Canada announced that it will match dollar for dollar contributions of individual Canadians to eligible Canadian charitable organizations in support of humanitarian recovery and reconstruction efforts in Haiti up to a total of $50 million.
Which Donations Will Be Matched?
To qualify for matching, the donations must be:
made by an individual Canadian (not a corporation or business) - the donation from an individual may not exceed $100,000;
made to a registered Canadian charitable organization that is receiving donations in response to the January 12 Haiti earthquake;
specifically earmarked for the purpose of responding to the earthquake; and,
made between January 12 and February 12, 2010.
CCCC has confirmed with CIDA that the donations given by individuals to a church that are forwarded to another Canadian registered charity doing the work in Haiti would also be matched. Donations to churches still need to meet the above criteria.
