Ways to give

Donating online is the most efficient and secure way for us to process your contribution.

We understand that many supporters would prefer to donate another way. Here are some other ways you make a contribution to the Charter Challenge for Fair Voting.

Please be aware that if you choose to donate one of the following ways, there may be a delay before your donation status is reflected in our system. So, if you already receive our email updates, you may continue to receive emails from us targeted towards people who have never donated, or have not donated recently until your status can be updated manually.


Mail a Cheque

Cheques can be made payable to

'Springtide Collective for Democracy'

Mailing Address:

SPRINGTIDE
P.O. BOX 40003
Robie Street PO
Halifax, NS Canada
B3K 0E4

Please write "Charter Challenge" in the memo field of your cheque, and remember to provide your personal mailing address and your email address so that we can send you a tax receipt at the end of the calendar year.

Pay via Paypal

You can donate to the Charter Challenge using your paypal account here.


Interac E-Transfer

Interac e-transfers can be sent to [email protected].

Be sure to tell us the answer to your security question in a separate email.

In order to qualify for a charitable tax receipt you will also need to provide us with your personal mailing address in your email.

Please include  "Charter Challenge" in the message field of your e-transfer. 

 

Canada Helps

CanadaHelps.org is Canadian charity that allows Canadians to give to any other registered charity in the country, through their online platform. Visit Springtide’s page at CanadaHelps.org to give this way. If you choose to give this way, your tax receipt will come directly from CanadaHelps, not Springtide.

Note: If you give through CanadaHelps, less of your donation goes to Springtide because of payment processing fees totaling 3.5% – 4%. When you give directly to Springtide online, processing fees of just 2.2% apply.

How you can help

The main way you can help is to support the case financially. We are now asking for pledges totalling $60,000 to support us appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada, if they grant us leave to appeal in mid-2025.

What to expect

At each step, we set new pledge or donation goals based on our estimate of the costs for the next stage of the process, and invite our supporters to contribute towards that goal to ensure the case can continue to move forward. We don't ask for or collect funds until we're sure we're going to take the associated step.
