Deadline Extension Gives New Brunswickers More Time to Make a Difference. Offset your taxable income & ensure your dollars support New Brunswickers in need.
The federal government recently decided to extend the charitable donation deadline to February 28, 2025, offering Canadians additional time to support vital causes while maximizing tax benefits. This announcement comes at a critical time, as charities across the country—including NB Lung—work tirelessly to address urgent health issues like lung disease and respiratory health.
The extension, designed to offset disruptions caused by the Canada Post service stoppage, ensures that generous New Brunswickers can still contribute toward a healthier future for their communities.
A Lifeline for Lung Health
As New Brunswick’s provincial lung health charity, NB Lung relies on the compassion and commitment of donors to tackle the leading causes of lung disease in our province. Your donations fund critical initiatives, including:
- Advocacy for better lung health policies, like recent progress on radon testing.
- Smoking cessation programs to support individuals in their journey to healthier lungs.
- Education and awareness campaigns that protect New Brunswickers from respiratory risks, including exposure to pollutants and viruses.
- Research and innovation that paves the way for lung cancer prevention and a better understanding of lung health.
Every dollar makes a difference — improving indoor air quality, expanding access to life-saving equipment, or supporting ongoing patient counselling.
Why Your Support Matters
New Brunswick faces some of Canada’s highest rates of lung disease, exacerbated by factors like smoking, radon exposure, and poor indoor air quality. Our communities need lung health champions willing to invest in prevention and education to build a healthier tomorrow.
By donating to NB Lung before the February 28 deadline, you not only support these critical efforts but also benefit from the federal government’s Charitable Donation Tax Credit, which can significantly reduce your taxable income.
Act Now for a Healthier Future
This extended deadline gives us all an opportunity to reflect on the impact of our contributions. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or considering donating for the first time, your generosity fuels programs that save lives and build stronger, healthier communities.

Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a commitment to hope, health, and a brighter future.
