It's Time to Act. Become a monthly supporter.

Before. During. After.
That’s when the team shows up.

With so many disasters affecting individuals and families both in Canada and around the world, the need doesn’t stop. It’s why, as you’ve probably noticed, the Red Cross team constantly shows up to help wherever help is most needed. It’s a team effort that makes these incredible examples of solidarity possible.

British Columbia

Wildfires have forced thousands of people across British Columbia from their homes under evacuation orders and alerts. The Red Cross is operating emergency lodging shelters in Kamloops and supporting evacuees at reception centres in Vernon.

Jamaica

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm — the third strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean. The Red Cross sent more than 18,000 emergency relief items to Jamaica and mobilized an emergency medical clinic team to support local health services.

Ottawa

Intense rainfall and high winds swept through Ottawa on July 1, 2026, damaging homes and disrupting families across the city. Red Cross volunteers have distributed clean-up kits and teddy bears, and connected residents to recovery resources at the City of Ottawa’s information hubs.

Become a monthly donor today and be part of the team that shows up when it matters most.

BMO will triple match* your donations for an entire year, bringing care and support to families and communities in need.

3X match^*. Every month. For an entire year.

Why make a monthly gift?

Monthly donors are the backbone of the Canadian Red Cross. Here are a few reasons why your monthly gift matters:

You’ll have an incredibly far-reaching impact thanks to this unique monthly match offer. Getting triple the impact every month for a year means that $20 a month could generate over $700 of impact in a year!

You’ll help us budget for ongoing programs, or wherever help is most needed. That includes key activities like volunteer recruitment and training, as well as developing and implementing long-term, large-scale projects that Canada and the world needs.

You’ll be part of a community of thousands in Canada. Like you, these incredibly generous individuals and families send a clear message every month: humanitarian work matters, whether it’s here in Canada or around the world.

You’ll have a convenient way to budget your charity giving while still getting all of the tax advantages. We’ll issue a consolidated receipt once a year that includes all of your generous giving.

Extraordinary disasters require an extraordinary response.
But we cannot stand alone. Give now. Your gift will be triple matched* EVERY month for an ENTIRE year.

Have Questions?

Can I update my donation amount or payment method once I become a monthly donor?

Yes, if you become a monthly donor online you will be able to access your monthly donation account in your donor portal. Within the portal you will be able to update payment information, change donation amount or cancel your donation.

When will my donation be deducted?

The first time you donate, funds will be deducted immediately. After that, monthly donations will be deducted on the same day each month.

When will I receive my tax receipt?

You will receive a consolidated tax receipt every February. This receipt will include all your charity giving to the Canadian Red Cross for the previous tax year and will be sent via email. Note: Tax receipts will be provided on the original amount, not the matched amount.

I am already a monthly donor will the match apply to me?

The monthly match is currently only available to new monthly donors. Subscribe to our email list to find out about future matching offers.

How does the monthly match work?

Our generous partner, BMO has committed to matching monthly donations for an entire year, up to a total of $240,000.

Once the match amount has been met, donations will no longer be matched, but they will continue to go to where it is needed most.

How does my donation help?

Money donated to the Canadian Red Cross Fund is used to support the entire organization as this allows flexibility for the funds raised to be used wherever the current need is greatest. At home and around the world, the Red Cross is a sign of hope for people who have lost everything.
