Crisis Response

Your generosity—delivered to those who need it most

When a crisis occurs at home or abroad, donors with Family Foundation accounts at Canada Gives are ready and able to deliver immediate assistance. Our Crisis Support page provides a source of information on current humanitarian situations—from natural disasters to wars and pandemics—featuring background details and reports on charitable organizations actively working in affected areas, along with others that offer support and programs for recovery. Our team is available to consult on crisis-related giving options* and to manage your specific grant requests.

*Canada Gives is not aligned with any specific charity.

Supporting people impacted by the Ukraine War

The conflict in Ukraine has resulted in one of the worst humanitarian crises since the Second World War. From the earliest moments of the conflict, Canada Gives Foundation clients have been relentless in their efforts to support Ukrainian refugees, along with citizens still living in the country. In response—and to help you provide support as the situation on the ground evolves—our Client Services team has compiled a list of some of the Canadian charities delivering aid or services to Ukraine, all of which have cleared our rigorous due diligence process. Contact our team today to make a grant request or to enquire about any other organizations.
