These organizations will be selected by the government based on its own criteria. As such,<strong> the recipient charity collecting donations does not itself receive a matching dollar from the government,<\/strong> although it may be able to apply to the relief fund with a proposal for funding.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be eligible for a matching donation to the government\u2019s relief fund, the donation must be made by an individual between November 9 and December 23, 2013 and must be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>monetary in nature (not to exceed $100,000 per individual);<\/li>\n<li>made to a registered Canadian charity that is receiving donations in response to the impact of Typhoon Haiyan;<\/li>\n<li>specifically earmarked for response to Typhoon Haiyan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order for the donation to be matched by the federal government for its Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund, the registered charity that received the donations must complete a declaration form and file it with Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development (DFATD). This would apply to charities that solicit the donations directly for their own humanitarian work, as well as to charities that collect donations and then transfer them to another Canadian registered charity to carry out the work (i.e. as a gift to a qualified donee). Where such a transfer occurs, the charities should co-ordinate with one another as to who will be making the declaration to ensure the funds are not declared twice.<\/p>\n<p>Charities should only complete this declaration if they are satisfied that the donations meet the above eligibility requirements and are used in response to the humanitarian crisis related to the impact of Typhoon Haiyan. The form must be received by the DFATD on or before January 10, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The form can be found on DFATD&#8217;s website:\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund 2013 Declaration Form\" href=\"http:\/\/www.international.gc.ca\/development-developpement\/assets\/pdfs\/humanitarian_response-situations_crises\/2666E.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund 2013 Declaration Form.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Charities should note the following information from DFATD about eligible donations, set out in the declaration form:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;Eligible donations can include amounts from a fundraising event undertaken to raise money from individuals in response to the\u00a0humanitarian crisis resulting from Typhoon Haiyan.
