Chip in for Ward 4
This is a grassroots campaign, funded by neighbours. Every contribution goes straight into signs, literature, and the cost of reaching every door in Concord and Thornhill North.
Vaughan Contribution Rebate
Most of your contribution can come back to you.
Vaughan Council enacted a contribution rebate for the 2026 municipal election, and this campaign has opted in. An eligible Vaughan elector who contributes $50 or more can claim back 75% of the contribution, up to $150.
| You contribute | Possible Vaughan rebate | Net cost to you |
|---|---|---|
| $50 | $37.50 | $12.50 |
| $100 | $75 | $25 |
| $150 | $112.50 | $37.50 |
| $200 | $150 | $50 |
| $500 | $150 | $350 |
| $1,200 | $150 | $1,050 |
The rebate reaches its maximum at a $200 contribution.
Rebates are administered by the City of Vaughan, not the campaign. Eligibility is limited to electors resident in Vaughan who appear on the final voters’ list. Goods and services, fundraiser proceeds, non-resident contributions and contributions from the candidate and certain close family members are excluded. Nirmala Ramlall is a participating candidate in the program, so contributions to this campaign qualify where the contributor is eligible. Contributors apply to the City Clerk using the City’s prescribed form and the campaign’s contribution receipt, and applications are accepted for up to 90 days after the candidate filing deadline of March 30, 2027. The program is established under City of Vaughan By-law 026-2026.

The Rules
Contribution information
- Contributions may only be made by individuals who normally reside in Ontario, from the contributor’s own funds.
- Corporations, trade unions, associations and clubs cannot contribute.
- The maximum contribution to this campaign is $1,200.
- An individual may contribute no more than $5,000 in total to candidates running for offices on the same municipal council.
- Contributions can include money as well as eligible goods or services. Buying a ticket to a campaign fundraiser counts as a contribution.
- Cash contributions are limited to $25. Anything above that must be made by a method that identifies the source — cheque, money order, or credit, debit or electronic transfer.
- The campaign issues a receipt for every contribution.
- Where an individual’s contributions total more than $100, their name and address form part of the campaign’s public financial statement, as required by Ontario municipal election law.
- Municipal campaign contributions are not eligible for a federal or provincial political tax credit. The Vaughan rebate above is separate.
