Company giving programs including Canada Helps and Benevity encourage you to fundraise for the causes you care about most. Like, life-saving cancer research.
If your company offers a company giving program you can donate directly to your goal, support another registered Cricket participant and even ask colleagues to contribute directly through payroll deduction.
Depending on the third-party online platform your company uses, you can choose either one-time or recurring donation amounts. These can be payroll deducted or paid through credit card, debit card or PayPal.
Talk to your HR team to gain access to your company’s online platform and then follow their guidance on how to donate.
When donating please include the following details:
- The donation amount
- The frequency (one-time or recurring)
- The name of the Cricket participant or team you are supporting
- The payment method (payroll deduction, credit card, debit card, or PayPal)
Important:
You will see a field marked 'Information shared with charity'. Please opt-in to share your information with The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. This ensures that your name is reflected on the participant(s)' personal fundraising page. If you choose not to share this information, the donation will appear anonymous.

Donation Matching Programs
If your company doesn't have a formal giving program in place, they may have a donation match program that allows you to quickly double your donation and your impact.How Does it Work?
Let's say your company provides a 1:1 donation match ratio. This means if you donate $100, your company will donate another $100 towards your fundraising goal. Be sure to check the requirements, as there is often a maximum amount that companies will match per employee.Ask your employer or HR department about donation matching today!
