How many donation buttons can I have?

You can add multiple donation buttons on your website, providing flexibility in how you engage donors on various pages.

What does the donation button look like on my charities website?

How are tax receipts administered?

We handle the tax receipting. Tax receipts are always available to the donor in their account. Allowing them to access at any time.

We use another platform for donations, but it doesn’t accept cryptocurrency, e-Transfers, or securities. Can GiveGenius help?

Yes, we can facilitate a variety of donation methods that your current platform may not support. You can embed GiveGenius buttons on your website to accept these donations directly.

GiveGenius supports a variety of payment options to suit your donors' needs. Currently we accept credit card, e-transfers, DAF transfers and cheque. This list is growing, within the give button, and will soon include, direct bank transfers (Pre-Authorized Debits), Cryptocurrency, Complex Assets and Securities. Keep in mind that we can still process all these types of donations manually for you in the meantime.

Can GiveGenius support corporate giving?

How is this different from CanadaHelps?

While CanadaHelps offers donation processing services, GiveGenius provides greater flexibility in giving, no administrative fees, and access to significant tax-saving opportunities through our Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). DAFs are one of the fastest growing giving vehicles in Canada, and charities that embrace them can benefit from larger, more meaningful gifts with less complexity. By partnering with GiveGenius, charities can proactively engage donors, offering streamlined, impactful giving experiences that foster long-term generosity.

The button can be inserted through a simple and customized HTML code. The specific code will be provided by our team once contacted through email .

Yes! GiveGenius can process corporate donations and even allow corporations to create accounts for workplace giving initiatives. These options make it easy for businesses to support your charity and encourage collective giving among their employees. Check out our for more details.
