Donation or sponsorship?

Two ways to give — different tax treatment.

Canadian tax rules treat a gift and a sponsorship differently. We'll help you choose the right one; your accountant can confirm what works best for your company.

  • OPTION ACorporate donation

    What it is
    A gift with nothing of significant value given in return.
    What you receive
    An official donation receipt for the eligible amount of the gift.
    Tax treatment
    Corporations can generally deduct eligible gifts, up to 75% of net income in a year.
    Recognition
    A thank-you and a listing among our supporters — not advertising.
  • OPTION BSponsorship

    What it is
    A business arrangement where you receive visibility or marketing benefits.
    What you receive
    An invoice or business acknowledgment — not a donation receipt.
    Tax treatment
    Often deductible as an advertising or promotional expense when incurred to earn income.
    Recognition
    Logo placement, co-branded impact stories, event or project naming.
  • OPTION CA mix of both

    What it is
    A gift where you receive a modest, measurable benefit.
    What you receive
    A split receipt: the payment minus the fair market value of the benefit.
    Good to know
    Never claim the same amount as both an expense and a gift.
    Recognition
    Agreed in writing up front, so there are no surprises.

General information only, not tax advice. Based on Canada Revenue Agency guidance on gifts, advantages and split receipting.
