Heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan have caused devastating Floods since late July and left millions of people in need of emergency assistance. In response, the Government of Canada has created the Pakistan Flood Relief Fund.
For every eligible dollar donated by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charities, the Government of Canada will contribute one dollar to the Pakistan Flood Relief Fund. CIDA will allocate these funds to established Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations for humanitarian assistance, early recovery, and reconstruction efforts that benefit the people in Pakistan most affected by the floods.
In order to better respond to the needs of the people of Pakistan and to more effectively match the generosity of Canadians, the Government of Canada will match eligible donations made from August 2 until September 12, 2010.
Before making a donation, please read the donating criteria below carefully and make sure your donation goes to a registered Canadian charity.
Organizations have until September 27, 2010, to submit their declaration forms indicating the amount of eligible donations they have collected. |
