The Great Canadian Giving Challenge is back for its fifth year and CanadaHelps is looking to shine a spotlight on your charity this June! We would like to feature your charity and your cause across the country—simply tell us what you would do if you won $10,000! Our goal is to encourage donors to support their favourite charities in the month of June and participate in the Great Canadian Giving Challenge. It’s also your chance to tell donors across Canada a little bit about your charity and the important work that you do.

Starting on June 1st through June 30th, every $1* donated on CanadaHelps.org, CanadaHelps fundraising tools (such as customizable donation pages, P2P campaigns, and events), and GivingChallenge.ca is an automatic entry to win the grand prize draw!

Get Maximum Exposure for Your Charity This June: Take Advantage of Two FREE, Easy Promotional Opportunities

Submit a 60-second video explaining the impact your charity could make if you won the $10,000 prize. These videos will then be shared on our CanadaHelps, GIV3, and GivingTuesday Canada social media channels to promote your charity and the Great Canadian Giving Challenge contest. PLUS, the first 5 charities to submit their videos meeting our guidelines will each be awarded a $100 CanadaHelps Charity Gift Card! To enter, please review our video spotlight submission guidelines and instructions to read our guidelines and submission instructions.

Don’t have a video? Complete this form with your name, contact information, Twitter handle, and tell us in 280 characters or less what you could do with $10,000. If chosen, we will take your submission and share it with supporters following CanadaHelps, GIV3, and GivingTuesday Canada on social media.

Hurry, responses will be accepted until Thursday, May 30th at 11:59 p.m. ET. If chosen, your charity could be featured throughout the month of June! The first 5 charities to submit a video could also win a CanadaHelps Charity Gift Card valued at $100. Have questions? Get in touch with at marketing@canadahelps.org.

*Eligible Charities will automatically receive one (1) entry for each dollar donated to the Eligible Charity through CanadaHelps.org (including the CanadaHelps direct site for Canadians, customizable donation pages, P2P, events, and other campaign pages created by a registered Canadian charity using the CanadaHelps system, and monthly donations processed during the challenge period) or GivingChallenge.ca (each, an “Entry” or collectively, “Entries”).
