If you make a one-time donation via one of our forms, you will have the option to receive a charitable receipt upon completion of the transaction. In all cases, the Foundation sends a cumulative receipt of all charitable receipts at the beginning of the year following that of your donation (e.g. if you made your donation in May 2023, a charitable receipt will be given to you in January 2024).

If you make a recurring donation, you will have the option of receiving a cumulative receipt for all of your donations at the beginning of the year following the year of your donation.

If you have not selected the option to receive the receipt at the end of the donation form and would like to receive it, contact us and we will send the receipt to the email address used for the donation.

Namely, our system requires a valid mailing address to be able to issue a charitable receipt. If you did not provide an address when you completed the donation form or have moved in the meantime, please write to us via our form on the Contact Us page with your new information.

If you do not have or do not wish to use your credit card for a donation or membership, you can make an Interac transfer (see above), use PayPal or send a check to the following address: Fondation Rivières, 454 avenue Laurier Est, Montreal, QC, H2J 1E7

Les plateformes telles que Stripe ou Paypal, avec lesquelles nous travaillons pour traiter les dons, facturent des frais d’utilisation aux organisations. En acceptant de couvrir les frais de traitement, vous réduisez notre facture totale.

Facebook provides a payment receipt, but it is not tax deductible. Considering that Facebook does not send us the email addresses of donors, it is difficult for us to provide receipts to people who have donated via this platform.

If you donated on Facebook and would like a charitable receipt, please fill out the form on the Contact Us page indicating your postal address, the date and the amount of the donation.

Facebook (Meta) sends a payment receipt to an email address, but does not provide tax-deductible donation receipts for people who have contributed to a fundraiser on its platform. 

If you or one of the contributors to your collection would like a tax receipt, please fill out the form on the Contact Us page or call our philanthropic development advisor, Coralie Massey-Cantin, at 514-272-2666, ext. 305.
