For your books: you’ll get an HST-compliant receipt for every sponsorship and a year-end statement. Sponsorships are not charitable donations, but businesses may be able to treat them as marketing or promotional expenses — and your brand can appear publicly as a community sponsor. Confirm deductibility with your accountant.

Tip for faster approval: use a clear, well-lit photo where your name, date of birth, and the full document are readable. Blurry, cropped, or expired documents slow down review.

Why we ask: GivEat is free for verified students aged 17–30. We review your ID and student document only to confirm eligibility. Restaurants and supporters never see your documents, email, or phone — at pickup they only see your first name, photo, code, and pickup time. Approval usually takes under 24 hours.
