### **Gave through a charity’s website using GiveWise?**

If you made a donation through a charity’s website and were directed to GiveWise (via GiveGenius), your tax receipt is still available — but only if you create a free **Giving Fund**. See the FAQ below for full details.

#### I gave through GiveWise on a charity’s website — where is my tax receipt?

To access your tax receipt, you’ll need to create a free **Giving Fund** with GiveWise. This allows us to:

* Link your donation securely to you
* Issue an official CRA-compliant receipt
* Provide 24/7 access to your past giving and receipts

**Why is this required?**\
CRA guidelines require all tax receipts to be linked to a verified donor record. Creating a Giving Fund ensures your gift is properly attributed and receipted.

**What if I didn’t create a Giving Fund when I gave?**\
You can still create one now using the same email you used when donating. Once it’s set up, your receipt will appear under the **Tax Receipts** tab.

**Can I still get a receipt without a Giving Fund?**\
No. Donations made without a verified Giving Fund will not be provided a tax receipt through any other method. Tax receipting is self-serve and requires donors to create a free Giving Fund to access. We recommend creating one right away to ensure full access to your donation history and receipts.
