Do I have to send in my donations? Can I bring them with me to the walk?
While you can always bring your donations to the walk, it is preferable that you mail them in as soon as you can to:
Autism Speaks Canada
1243 Islington Avenue, Suite 801
Toronto, ON M8X 1Y9
What if people want to give me cash?
It is safest and best for record-keeping that you convert all cash received to cheques or money orders. If you are able, the safest option is to send a personal cheque covering the full amount, along with the corresponding donation forms, to Autism Speaks Canada. We will be able to credit your friends and family for their generosity. If this is not possible, you can also always bring the cash donations and appropriate donation forms to the walk.
What if my donors don't want to donate online?
You can always have your donors mail their donations directly to our national office:
Autism Speaks Canada
1243 Islington Avenue, Suite 801
Toronto, ON M8X 1Y9
Please have them submit the corresponding donation forms with their cheques so you will be credited for your fundraising efforts. If this is not possible, please have them indicate which walk they are supporting and your name on the memo section of the cheque.
Do I have to fill out one donation form for each cheque?
Yes. This is the best way to ensure that you receive the credit you deserve for all your fundraising efforts.
Can I continue to collect donations after the walk? Where do I send the cheques?
Absolutely! Please mail donations with the appropriate donation forms to:
Autism Speaks Canada
1243 Islington Avenue, Suite 801
Toronto, ON M8X 1Y9
Will the money turned in at the walk show up on my web page and my donation report?
Absolutely. If the corresponding donation forms were filled out and submitted along with your donations at the walk, then you should see your fundraising efforts reflected on your web page and donation report within four weeks of the event.
I turned in a packet at the walk and do not see all the cheques processed yet?
All donations to Autism Speaks should be deposited, processed and posted to your web page within four weeks of the day of the event. If a month or more has passed and you still do not see your donations on your web page, please contact Autism Speaks Canada by e-mail at autismspeakscanada@autismspeaks.org.
How long will it take before the cheques I mailed show up on my page?
Please allow four weeks for your donations to be deposited, processed and posted to your web page.
Where do I get donation forms?
