What is the Benefit of Online Giving?

CCAS has partnered with CanadaHelps.org, a not-for-profit charity portal, to facilitate online donations on our behalf.

CanadaHelps.org offers its services at a very low cost to the charity and at no cost to the donor.

CanadaHelps.org charges the lowest rates available. Its charitable mandate is to aid the charitable sector by reducing some of the administrative costs associated with fundraising as well as to make donating easier for Canadians.

By streamlining our expenses we will be able to give more funds directly to the needs of children in our care. Online donations and communications reduces administration costs and provides specific benefits to the donor, such as lower material consumption, personalized communication options (donors can regulate how recent and frequent the charity communicates with the donor), and faster response times.
