Will I get a tax receipt?
Yes. Because your recognition is limited to a single mention in our The Difference is YOU campaign email rather than ongoing promotion, according to CRA your full gift qualifies for an official charitable tax receipt.
How will I be recognized?
As a Matching Donor we’ll list your name or business once on the main The Difference is YOU campaign outreach email. If you’re looking for ongoing visibility across our website, email, posters, and social media instead, that’s available through our main Matching Sponsor page, though that option doesn’t come with a tax receipt.
Will I be asked to give more than my sponsored amount?
No. Your gift will only be used to match donations up to the amount you contribute.
What will my sponsorship support?
Your gift will help fund this season’s The Difference is YOU campaign priorities: new warming cabinets ($62,000 goal), transfer aide lifts ($16,000 goal) and slings ($25,000 goal) for resident care, a staff appreciation fund ($15,000 goal), and Dementia Journey training for our caregivers ($20,050 goal).
What happens if campaign donations exceed my match amount?
All additional donations will still be received and celebrated, but only your sponsored amount will be used for matching.
Why does matching matter?
People give more, and more often, when their impact is doubled.
What happens if public donations don’t reach the full match amount?
We still rely on the full Matching Donor commitment, even if public donations fall short. Your gift will be used to support this season’s priorities for seniors in long-term care, with every dollar still making a meaningful difference. The match simply sets a goal to inspire others to give, but your full sponsored amount is still needed and still put to work for resident care.
