Over the Web: The Vancouver Aquarium has partnered with CanadaHelps.org, a not-for-profit charity portal and a registered public foundation that seeks to promote and facilitate philanthropy through on-line giving. CanadaHelps.org offers its services at no cost to the charity or the donor.

How do I donate?
All you have to do is click the 'donate now' button and follow the instructions. All information entered is strictly confidential and securely protected, and donor information is only provided to the charity to which the donation has been made.

How do donors get a receipt?
Donations made through the CanadaHelps.org Web site are treated in the same way as regular receiptable charitable donations. The Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency has approved the use of electronic tax receipts. Usually within minutes of successfully completing a donation, the donor receives an e-mail notification confirming the transaction. Because CanadaHelps.org is a registered public foundation, donors are e-receipted for a donation to CanadaHelps.org. The donation is processed and funds are directed to the Aquarium's bank account.

Can donors make an anonymous donation?
Yes. All that is required is that the donor checks the appropriate box when prompted and anonymity is guaranteed.

Tax Receipts will be issued for donations over $20. Canadian Charitable Tax Number: 11928 2119 RR0001. US Charitable Tax Number: 98-0050185.

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre does not sell or trade donors' contact details.
