It’s been over a year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and over 24,000 lives across Canada have been lost due to the virus. Although vaccinations are rolling out, many parts of Canada are experiencing a third wave and our hospitals are on the brink of overcrowding. Canadian hospitals and healthcare systems are being stretched by the overwhelming impact of the pandemic as case counts continue to rise.

Canadian hospitals and healthcare charities need continuous support to ensure all healthcare professionals have the necessary provisions and equipment needed to continue care for COVID-19 patients.

Many hospitals are still in need of extra equipment and critical medical aid, including personal protective equipment such as N95 masks, gloves, and much more to protect frontline workers.

Your tax-deductible donation will help Canadian charities ramp up medical response efforts as they face COVID-19. CanadaHelps will distribute the funds to Canadian hospital foundations and charities providing COVID-19 healthcare, and your tax-deductible donation will be pooled with gifts from other generous Canadians to make an even greater impact.

Should the funds raised exceed the amount required to meet immediate and longer-term needs in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, excess funds will be used by these charities for other important initiatives.

We’re proud that we have raised over $1 million dollars with the help of The Gore Mutual Foundation, who matched the first $1 million we raised. You can continue to help us make an even greater impact by donating today!
