National Post

Many charities won’t be able to keep their doors open through COVID-19, and a new matching donor program could be the lifeline they need, reports the National Post. 

Cardus' report found that donations to charities are dropping by around 30 per cent. Without the government’s intervention, "many charities — everything from animal shelters, cancer research groups and refugee resettlement charities — are facing dire prospects."
