Donate locally
On this page, you can donate to either the local Toronto-Danforth riding association for either the Green Party of Canada or the Green Party of Ontario. Choose the right heading.
Green Party of Canada — local riding association
To donate to the local federal riding association:
- Donate securely online:
- Mail a cheque, payable to Toronto-Danforth Federal Green Party Association, and mail to our Financial Agent, Chris Tolley, at 5 Audley Ave, Toronto ON M4M 1P5.
- Or call 416-273-8247.
If you pay federal taxes, you’ll get money back when you donate.
For the first $400 you donate in any year, you’ll get three quarters of it back at tax time. So that means you can give $400 now and use the tax receipt we provide to get $300 back. That means it only costs $100 to give the Green Party a $400 push.
It’s easy to spend $25 at restaurant or at the movies. A $100 donation now will only cost $25 once you get $75 back on your taxes.
| Donation | - Tax Credit | = Your Cost |
|---|---|---|
| $1,200 | - $625 | = $575 |
| $1,000 | - $558 | = $442 |
| $750 | - $475 | = $275 |
| $600 | - $400 | = $200 |
| $400 | - $300 | = $100 |
| $200 | - $150 | = $50 |
| $100 | - $75 | = $25 |
| $40 | - $30 | = $10 |
This table applies per person per year. So your partner can make a matching $400 donation to receive a matching $300 credit, and you both can donate again in the new year.
(Note that after the first $400, the additional tax credit on the next $350 is one half. After the first $750, the additional tax credit is one third up to a yearly maximum tax credit of $650. You must be a permanent resident of Canada to donate. The maximum donation to local federal EDAs and candidates is $1,100 per year, to which you can add another $1,100 in donations to national federal parties.)
Green Party of Ontario — local riding association
To donate to the provincial riding association:
- Donate securely online:
- Mail a cheque, payable to Green Party of Canada Toronto-Danforth Constituency Association, to Andrew James, CFO, at 177 Browning Ave, Toronto ON M4K 1W7.
- Or call 416-273-8247.
Ontario provincial political contributions receive generous tax credits — whether or not you pay provincial taxes.
| Donation | - Tax Credit | = Your Cost |
|---|---|---|
| $2,821 | - $1,240 | = $1,581 |
| $1,948 | - $949 | = $999 |
| $1,240 | - $713 | = $527 |
| $1,000 | - $593 | = $407 |
| $800 | - $493 | = $307 |
| $600 | - $393 | = $207 |
| $400 | - $293 | = $107 |
| $200 | - $150 | = $50 |
| $100 | - $75 | = $25 |
| $40 | - $30 | = $10 |
Other ways to help
If it’s difficult to donate money, remember that you can also donate time. And taking a sign for your window or lawn is a tremendous contribution to outreach as well.

Yesterday, the Executive of our EDA in Saskatoon-Humboldt decided to send $100 to the Green Party candidate in the Toronto-Danforth byelection. We wish Adriana the very best.
