FOR CHARITIES

Sponsorship with clear deliverables.

Describe your work, set your own package prices, and know exactly what a sponsor receives. Every charity and nonprofit is verified before it can accept sponsorships.

  • Share your mission

    Describe your mission and the communities you serve.

  • Clear sponsorship packages

    New packages include a donor link; social posts, newsletter features and approved print promotions can be priced separately.

  • Review your sponsors

    Review a sponsor before accepting an opportunity.

  • Optional blog post

    Website owners can add a CAD $20 assisted blog post linking to the charity; this is separate from the sponsorship price.

HOW FEES WORK

Clear sponsorship fees.

Set your sponsorship package price. Sponsors pay a 5% facilitation fee and the payment processing cost on top, so your charity receives the full price.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you start.

See all questions

Who pays the fees?

The sponsor does. They pay your package price, a 5% facilitation fee and the payment processing cost on top, and your charity receives the full package price.

How are charities and nonprofits verified?

Registered charities give their CRA registration number. Nonprofits and societies give their corporation or society number and the province where they are registered. We check the registry and your Stripe payout account before approving, and packages, sponsorships and payouts open once you are verified.

What does a sponsor receive?

Every package includes a donor link. New packages may offer separately priced social, newsletter and approved print promotion. Existing packages retain any social post already included. A sponsor can also add a CAD $20 assisted blog post linking to your charity, separate from the sponsorship price.

What is the smallest package?

Packages start at CAD $50.
