The federal government will match every dollar donated to the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfire Appeal, while the Government of Saskatchewan is contributing $15 million to assist the Red Cross support of wildfire evacuees.

“Saskatchewan people are known for coming together in times of need,” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said. “This fundraising initiative to support those impacted by the wildfires reflects the generosity shown in our province and throughout the country. We thank the Canadian Red Cross for their fundraising efforts and for providing support for evacuees as we continue to fight these wildfires.”

Donation matching will continue until the end of June. Anyone wanting to make a financial donation to assist those impacted by Saskatchewan wildfires can do so online at www.redcross.ca or by calling 1-800-418-1111.
