Ontario Opportunities Fund
The Ontario Opportunities Fund gives Ontario residents the chance to help lower the province’s debt. Contributing is easy; if you’d like to contribute a portion of your tax refund to the fund, you can do so using H&R Block’s tax software.
Contributing to the Ontario opportunities fund can be useful to you too. If you contribute to the fund through your 2021 tax return, you will receive an official receipt which allows you to claim a donation tax credit on your 2022 tax return.
Note: You won’t be able to donate if your refund is less than $2 or if the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reduces your refund by $2 or more when it assesses your return.
