Canada matching Donations to Ukraine 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🇺🇦

Canada’s matching fund - Crisis in Ukraine

Recognizing the generosity of Canadians and their desire to assist those affected by the crisis, Canada launched a matching fund on February 25, 2022.

Canada will match, dollar for dollar, donations made by individual Canadians to the Canadian Red Cross, between February 24 and March 18, 2022, for crisis relief in Ukraine up to a maximum of $30 million.

To make a donation:

visit the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal online

Red Cross: https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1

call 1-800-418-1111

With the matching fund contribution, the Red Cross will support preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs of people affected by the conflict in Ukraine arise, including support to populations that have been displaced.

In line with best practice, Canadians are encouraged to donate money to reputable humanitarian organizations instead of sending relief items, as this allows these organizations to quickly purchase supplies based on the specific needs of the people affected by the conflict.

Donate to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of supporters, the Government of Canada match of $30 million has been met as of March 4, 2022. Your donation will support those impacted by the crisis in Ukraine. Thank you for your generosity.

Money raised will enable the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to respond to humanitarian needs generated by almost eight years of conflict, as well as preparedness and response efforts due to heightened tensions in Ukraine. The support could include preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs arise, both in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including supporting populations displaced.
