Join the 400 Club
Do you know that if you donate $400, your credit may be up to $300?
Current Revenue Canada tax credit on political donations is 75% of the first $400 donation. This means the net cost of a $400 donation is $100.
We are pleased to welcome our most dedicated supporters to the 400 Club. Thank you for your commitment to driving positive change and supporting our vision for a better future.

Your Refund Amount
In Canada, when you make donations to a political party or a candidate during a federal election, you are eligible for a tax credit on your federal income tax return. The tax credits for donations to registered federal political parties or candidates are calculated as follows:
- 75% on the first $400 donated
- 50% on the amount between $400 and $75
- 33 1/3% on the amount over $750 up to $1,650
The maximum amount of credit you can receive in one year caps at $650, which is reached when you donate $1,275. It's important to note that these credits apply only to monetary donations, not to contributions of services, and the donations must be cash contributions to qualify.
Contribution Rules
By submitting a donation, I certify that:
I am a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident of Canada and I am making this contribution with my personal credit card and not a corporate credit card;
This contribution is not from a corporation;
The funds I am donating are from me and are not being provided by another person or entity for the purpose of making this contribution.
If this contribution is made on behalf of my spouse, then the credit card balance will be paid from a joint bank account under both our names.
NOTE: As of January 1, 2024, the maximum allowable contribution to a registered Canadian political party increases to $1,725 annually.
