Why start one

Your 24 people have never heard this from you

Most Canadians know 24 Sussex. Far fewer know that they can help bring it back. A note from you, a friend or a neighbour, reaches people a national campaign never will.

Twenty-four gifts is a goal you can actually finish. Ask your family, your book club, your old teammates. Every page counts toward the same national campaign, and every donor who gives through you joins the story of restoring an important part of our shared heritage.

Questions

Before you start

Do I have to reach exactly 24 gifts?

No. Twenty-four is the target that gives the program its name, but every gift counts. Many Friends pass it; some raise it with a single generous circle.

Who can give through my page?

The same people who can give to Restoring 24 Sussex directly: individuals and other registered charities. Your supporters confirm their eligibility in the same attestation step as every other 24 Sussex donor, so there is nothing extra for you to manage.

Will my donors get a tax receipt?

Yes. Every gift made through your page is receipted by the Rideau Hall Foundation, a registered Canadian charity, within Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.

Can I fundraise in French?

Oui. Your page and your supporters' checkout work in English and in French.

Do my supporters need an account?

No. They give in under a minute with just their name and email. Only you, as the fundraiser, sign in, and you can use your Google account.

Will donor names be public?

Yes. Anonymous gifts are not accepted for this project, and donor names are listed publicly by the Foundation, so let your 24 know before they give.

Not ready to fundraise?

You can still help restore 24 Sussex with a gift of your own today.
