Government of Canada’s Proposed Charitable Donation Extension
- Jan 6, 2025
We’re excited to share that the Government of Canada has announced the intention to extend the deadline for charitable donations made in early 2025. Under this new plan, donations made between January 1 and February 28, 2025, can still be claimed on your 2024 tax return.
This extension not only provides donors with more flexibility to support causes they care about but also helps reduce the impact of the recent four-week Canada Post mail strike. By giving donors extra time to ensure their contributions are received and processed, this change helps charities like the Oakville Hospital Foundation continue delivering vital services to the communities that rely on them.
What Does This Mean for You?
- Donations made during January or February 2025 can still count towards your 2024 tax return.
- This is a great opportunity to support the Oakville Hospital Foundation while maximizing your tax benefits.
At the Oakville Hospital Foundation, your donations fund life-saving equipment, enhance patient care, and support vital programs at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. This extension offers an easy way to make an even greater impact.
