Canadian Government Matching for Haiti Earthquake Releif
Due to the scale of the earthquake in Haiti, the response has been overwhelming, such that information is difficult to claifiy,
What the official word governmental word is:
Will the Government of Canada match all donations?
The maximum amount per single donation that the government will match
is $100,000. To count toward the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund,
donations must be:
- made by an individual Canadian;
- made
to a registered Canadian charitable organization that is receiving
donations in response to the January 12 Haiti earthquake;
- specifically earmarked by such organizations for the purpose of responding to the earthquake; and,
- made between January 12 and February 12, 2010.
So, any registered Canadian charity which earmarks money for Haiti, will be matched by the Government,
But
there is NO list exhaustive list of charities which have those
provisions, so any list I have is only partial..at least at this time.
Here is a CBC link with more charities listed:

If you have a charity in mind, other than those listed, check with the database of registered charities.

Also, "Call the charity or look on their website to see how your donation will be used."
