Donations

How do we make an offline donation?
(when a participant collects cash/cheque or payment is made with the credit card of the participant and not the donor)

  • Log into your profile online at www.48hourride.ca
  • Under the tab called Donations, click on Add Offline Donation
  • Add the information of the donor (name, address, email) and select Add donation
  • Then either call the Foundation at 514 488-9474 ext 6249, to make the payment with your credit card, or send the cheque (in the name of the foundation) or cash to the Foundation's office.
  • Once the payment is made or the cash/cheque is received, the system will send your donor a receipt.

How to receive a tax receipt?

Your receipt will be attached to the email you will receive within a few minutes of sending your donation. You can also download it from your account when you log in to the 48 HOUR RIDE website. 

If you do not receive a receipt in your inbox within a few minutes of sending your donation, please check your Junk (hotmail users), Spam (gmail users) or Bulk (yahoo users) E-mail folder just in case the receipt email got delivered there instead of your inbox. If so, select the message and click Not Junk, to allow future messages to get through.

If you need more help, please contact the 48-HOUR RIDE staff at 514-488-9474 ext. 6249 or 48heuresevelo@faisunvoeuqc.ca to receive a new tax receipt. Please send the name of the donor, the date of the donation and the amount.

What happens if we collect donations, but are unable to participate in the event? 

  • All funds raised are NON REFUNDABLE. If you or a member of your team no longer wishes to participate in the event, you can ask someone else to replace you. Donations collected can be transferred to this new person to assist in their fundraising.
