Dear John,

Not only are Canadians donating less than ever before – Americans are donating nearly four times what we are!

In fact, the number of Canadians donating to charity — as a percentage of all tax filers — is at the lowest point in the past 18 years.

The new Fraser Institute study also finds that 19.4% of Canadians claimed charitable donations on their tax return in 2018 (the most recent year of available data) compared to 25.5% back in 2000.

Manitoba is again the most generous Canadian province. Find out where your province ranks by checking out the whole study here [[link removed]] – and be sure to share it with your friends and colleagues!

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis

President
