Canadian tax receipts

CanadaHelps issues a tax receipt; you will not also receive a tax receipt from Birken if you use this method.

Birken receipts are normally issued by e-mail; please include your e-mail address with any donation. (Receipts can be sent by mail, instead, if this is specified with the donation.)

Canadian tax receipts must include your name and mailing address; if you donate electronically, please be sure we have your mailing address if you wish a tax receipt.
