Whether you are giving $50 or considering a founding commitment, here is every route we offer, with the honest status of each. Pleiades Housing Alliance is a federally incorporated non-profit under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act, Corporation No. 1460040-1. Our CRA charitable registration has been filed and is not yet granted, so we cannot issue charitable tax receipts at this time.
By card or bank, through Zeffy's secure hosted donation page. Gifts at this stage pay for the work that comes before construction: community engagement, housing needs assessments, site work, governance agreements and grant preparation.
Give onlineFor individuals, families and foundations laying the cornerstone of PHA's work. Founding capital is what activates the government grant engine: our target is for each philanthropic dollar to unlock up to five dollars of government housing capital, subject to programme eligibility and approval. That is a target, not a result we have delivered yet.
See the founding circle tiersMany foundations and donor-advised fund sponsors grant only to registered charities, or require additional accountability steps before granting to other organizations. Because our CRA registration has not yet been granted, please talk to us before recommending a grant, so we can confirm together what your foundation or fund is able to do today.
Start the conversationCorporate and institutional partners direct philanthropic capital into community-led housing and receive transparent reporting on where it went and what it built — reporting that can document a measurable, community-endorsed outcome for partners with ESG or reconciliation commitments.
How partnerships workIn Canada, the main tax advantage of donating publicly traded shares — no capital gains tax on the appreciation — applies to gifts made to registered charities. Because we are not yet registered, a gift of securities to PHA would not carry that benefit today. If this is how you would like to give, contact us and we will talk through the options with you.
Pleiades Housing Alliance is a federally incorporated non-profit under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act, Corporation No. 1460040-1. Our CRA charitable registration has been filed and is not yet granted, so we cannot issue charitable tax receipts at this time. We put that in front of you rather than in the small print. If charitable status is a condition of your giving, we would rather you waited until it is granted and gave then.
Contributions sit in dedicated campaign accounts with dual signatory requirements, and spending authority is set by amount and approved by the board above set thresholds. The full controls, and everything else a funder usually asks for, are on our funder due diligence page.
