Many of us take action on our annual giving goals in December. This month is a busy and very inspiring time for our team, as we see your support roll in for RC Forward’s high-impact charities and expert-advised funds.
RC Forward 2022 giving deadlines for credit card, direct debit, cheque, and more
To receive a 2022 donation receipt for your giving, please donate soon, to allow enough time for our team to receive and process your gift. Your receipt needs to be dated to 2022 if you’d like to claim a charitable tax credit for this tax year.
It takes us up to 2 business days to issue your receipt. Don’t worry, the receipt will indicate the day you gave, not the day your receipt was issued.
Please try to give earlier than the below deadlines if possible – delays can happen.
| Payment method | Give by this date or earlier in 2022 | How to give |
| Wire transfer | Send a wire no later than Friday, December 23. | See our More Ways To Give document |
| e-transfer | Send no later than Friday, December 23. Keep in mind you may face a $3,000 daily e-transfer limit. | See our More Ways To Give document |
| Cheque | Mail no later than Wednesday, December 28. By law, envelopes with cheques must be postmarked by Dec 31 to receive a tax receipt for that year. | See our More Ways To Give document |
| Direct debit | Give no later than Thursday, December 29. Direct debit donations take longer to process. | Donate online at rcforward.org/donate |
| Credit card | Give no later than Saturday, December 31. | Donate online at rcforward.org/donate |
Do far more good with the same resources
It’s been a tough year financially for many Canadians. Whatever giving looks like for you this year, effective giving presents an opportunity to do 10 times or even 100 times more good with your gift. As effective giver (and former Rethink Charity team member!) Catherine Low shared earlier this year:
“It’s not the size of the problem that matters, it’s how much impact I can make.”
Head over to our Donate page to donate today to a high-impact charity or fund. Thank you for your generosity this giving season.
