When you give to Federated Health Charities, you’re not just supporting a great cause—you’re also lowering your income tax. By claiming your charitable donation receipts, you can take advantage of federal and provincial tax credits that may return up to 49% of your donation at tax time.
The chart below was created using the Charitable Donations Tax Credits Calculator. Determine the amount of your payroll pledge or credit card donation to estimate your charitable tax credit. (Source: CanadaHelps.org).
| Donation Amount | Charitable Tax Credit | |
|---|---|---|
| Per Pay (26 pays annually) | Annual Amount | Estimate only |
| $20 | $520 | $168.61 |
| $50 | $1300 | $481.86 |
| $100 | $2600 | $1,003.94 |
| $150 | $3900 | $1,526.02 |
| $250 | $6500 | $2,570.18 |
| $500 | $13,000 | $5,180.58 |
There’s still time to donate to the 2025 Federated Health Campaign before June 30th—and your generosity can go even further when you take advantage of the tax benefits of charitable giving.
- Charitable donations add up to big tax credits. Federal and provincial donation tax credits can return nearly half of your donation.
- Carry forward for bigger benefits. Donations over $200 can be carried forward for up to 5 years, so you can claim them when it’s most beneficial for your tax return.
- Share the credit. You can transfer donation credits to your spouse or common-law partner to maximize your household’s tax savings.
Federated Health Charities partners with CanadaHelps, a trusted platform that supports over 85,000 Canadian registered charities. With over 3.6 million donors and $2.3 billion raised, CanadaHelps ensures secure, CRA-compliant donations with a spotless 22-year record.
Payroll donations are the lifeblood of our campaign
You may have never been asked to make a payroll donation before. Many people haven’t. But with just four weeks left in our 2025 campaign, I’m asking now—because your support matters more than ever.
Let’s come together and finish strong. Do your part—donate today.
