“Is my donation eligible for a tax receipt?” A question Federated Health Charities gets all the time. For the most part, Federated Health Charities can provide an official tax receipt for $25 or more when a donor gives a voluntary gift of cash and expects nothing in return.
For example, when you give money to Federated Health Charities by making a payroll pledge through WIN, submitting a pledge form through your local campaign or making a one-time donation, you are eligible for a tax receipt.
