As per the Campaign Expenses and Contributions Guide provided by the City of Winnipeg, The Rebate of Election Contributions By-law No. 9/2010 provides for a rebate of contributions made to a registered candidate.

Rebates are calculated as follows:

  • For total contributions between $25.00 and $300.00, the rebate is 75% of the contribution
  • For total contributions between $301.00 and $1,000.00, the rebate is $225.00 plus 50% of the difference between the contribution and $300.00
  • For total contributions of more than $1,000.00, the rebate is the lesser of:
    • $575.00 plus 33.3% of the difference between the contribution and $1,000.00;
    • $1,000.00 Contributions of less than $25.00 will not receive a rebate
  • An applicant making contributions to more than one candidate is able to apply for a rebate for each contribution. The rebate calculated will be based on the total amount contributed.
