Tax Receipting Through GiveGenius
For Charity Partners using GiveGenius
Overview
Before embedding the GiveGenius button on your website or sharing your donation link, please ensure your team understands how tax receipts are issued through GiveWise.
To receive a tax receipt, a donor must create a free Giving Fund .
Why This Process Exists
Our Giving Fund system helps us:
Securely attribute gifts to the correct donor
Issue CRA-compliant tax receipts digitally
Maintain transparent, auditable donation records
Reduce administrative risk and manual errors
If a Donor Doesn’t Create an Account
They can still donate using GiveGenius — but we will not issue a tax receipt for those gifts via any other method.
This is due to CRA guidelines and our internal compliance policies. We recommend being transparent about this with your donors, especially if you highlight GiveWise as a method for strategic or larger gifts.
