Can I get a Charitable Donation Receipt for my purchase?
All online fighter sponsorships and donations are processed directly through the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, and donors should receive their receipts immediately by email. Please note the following for all other purchases:
Charitable Donations – Fighters’ personal goals are funds directly collected by the foundation and supporters will receive a charitable donation receipt. We cannot use these funds for advertising, otherwise it would mean they are not donations.
Advertising Sponsorship – Sponsorship is purchased advertising. These purchases are taxable and receive business receipts, helping us execute the event, thus allowing donated funds to the PMCF to grow larger. No charitable donation receipts are issued for this, as the purchaser is receiving a product in exchange for their donated funds.
