Winston Churchill once said: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Canadians have a long history of charitable giving, with well over 90% of adults and youth making donations each year.
The Canadian government recognizes and appreciates our culture of giving, and is committed to promoting the giving spirit. Hence Canada has tax incentives for charitable donations, which have been described as among the most generous incentives in the world.
