From the Canadian Government website:

Cash donations

Cash donations are the fastest, most efficient way to get help to people living in a disaster zone.

They allow relief agencies to:

  • buy supplies based on the specific needs of people
  • get aid to affected populations as quickly as possible
  • support the local economy, which may have been seriously affected by the disaster

In most cases, it is more cost-effective to purchase goods locally than to airlift supplies from far away. Also, local goods can be purchased in much less time than it takes to organize the logistics of an airlift from a distant country.

The Canada Revenue Agency has a frequently updated list of registered charities.

Search the Project Browser for humanitarian partners and relief agencies that the Government of Canada works with to deliver humanitarian assistance in affected areas.

Or reach out and donate directly to:
