Thank you for choosing to support Community Food Centres Canada and our fight to end food insecurity! Please reach out to Simone Robinson, Development Officer, Community Giving at [email protected] for help with registering a corporate event.

Your fundraiser will directly support Community Food Centres Canada and help low-income communities across the country access good food with dignity. You’re also supporting programs that promote food skills, connection and advocacy. Learn more about our work.

We’re excited and ready to answer your questions, share tools & information to help you fundraise, and provide tax receipts for eligible gifts.

Please note that we are unable to provide support in the following ways:

• Administration and event planning support.
• Access to celebrities or media.
• Assistance with securing sponsorship or gifts including providing our existing donor sponsorship, donor, or volunteer lists for third party use.
• Insurance coverage for your event.
• Issue tax receipts other than as outlined by the Canadian Revenue Agency guidelines.
• Application for gaming and liquor licenses i.e. raffles, bingos or insurance.

Absolutely! The great thing about a fundraiser is that it can be whatever you want it to be. Whether you’re hosting a virtual paint night with friends or celebrating a special life event in person, it’s completely up to you. Just be sure to follow your local public health guidelines.

A fundraising goal can help motivate people to give, but no matter the amount you raise your fundraiser will still have an impact on the lives of Canadians experiencing food insecurity.

But, we know how exciting it is to meet a goal. So our experienced team put together a fundraising toolkit to help you take your outreach to the next level.
