Quoted from extraballingtmc:Does this count as a charitable donation for tax purposes?
No. You can't claim a donation on your CDN tax return if you are getting something in return i.e. chance of winning a Pin. Also if you donated to a U.S. charity you can only claim U.S. donations against 75% of U.S. sourced income on your CDN tax return. You would also not receive a proper U.S. donation receipt that would work on your CDN return when requested.
I did not have to stay at a Holiday Inn Express, I actually know.
