The rules of municipal giving.
Ontario's Municipal Elections Act sets the rules. Here's what you need to know before you give.
Contribution limit
Ontario's Municipal Elections Act caps individual contributions at $1,200 per candidate per election. There is no minimum.
Who can give
Only individuals may contribute—no corporations, unions, or organizations. Contributors must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
Tax receipts
Municipal campaign contributions do not qualify for income tax credits under the federal Income Tax Act.
Payment methods
Cheque, e-transfer, or cash (with receipt). All contributions must be processed through the official campaign account and will be publicly disclosed after the election.
