Yes! Jump Rope for Heart is an online-first fundraising program. We encourage online fundraising for the following reasons: 

We've heard concerns from parents and teachers alike about children carrying money on their person or going door-to-door in neighbourhoods without parental involvement. It is also a secure way for children and families to collect donations from friends and family who live far away. 

It is more efficient and advantageous for schools to fundraise online. When students collect their donations online, teachers and administrators spend less time collecting and counting pledge envelopes. This means that Thank You Prizes will be received sooner! It is also easier for schools to track progress towards their school goal online, as they can view online donations in real-time and download a complete fundraising report on the school’s total online impact and top online fundraisers. 

It is an efficient and sustainable way for donors to give. When a donor gives online, they receive an electronic tax receipt immediately to their inbox for a seamless experience - no postage or transport is required, and filing is paperless! 

It helps Heart & Stroke save on administration, meaning more dollars can go directly to our cause. 

Yes! While Jump is an online-first fundraising program, we understand that there may be exceptional circumstances or preferences that necessitate offline fundraising. Please click here to refer to the provided guidelines and steps included in our Offline Fundraising Process for Schools resource.   

We understand that every student is unique, and we're here to help you create an event that caters to all abilities. Please review our Event Day Activity Guide for fun activities with non-skipping options to ensure everyone can participate. You know your student body best, tailor your stations to their capabilities. If you’re unsure of how to engage certain students, consider consulting your school’s gym teacher, EA or nurse to assess children’s fitness abilities. 

Please note: Ropeless ropes are available on request. They’re designed to be used without moving your legs and can be used with only one arm. The weighted design creates the same sensation as jumping, making it an inclusive, fun option for everyone! 

No, the GiveBack program is being phased out as part of Heart & Stroke’s efforts to evolve and strengthen the Jump Rope for Heart experience. This decision will allow more funds to be directed towards our mission to beat heart disease and stroke by teaching kids lifelong healthy habits, funding life-saving research, and supporting families and children impacted by these conditions.   

During registration, you have the option to opt-in for your students to receive Thank You gifts. your Thank You Gifts are rewarded as digital gift cards to students who fundraise $75 or more. Heart & Stroke will contact families of children who qualify for a gift card directly via email with a unique code to collect a gift card of their choosing through our online portal. 

It is important for students to register online and fundraise on their Fundraising Page rather than the school’s page to ensure students are awarded the correct gift card value. 

 We are always looking for ways to increase mission impact and ensure more fundraising dollars are allocated towards our mission programming including life-saving research, advocacy and health promotion initiatives.  

Moving forward, schools will receive new fundraising kits that will help drive their fundraising efforts after confirming their participation in fundraising activities. 

If your school would like to participate in the fundraising component of Jump Rope for Heart this year, please set a fundraising goal on your school’s Event Page, then contact your Jump Specialist and we will send a fundraising kit to you. 

We encourage you to explore our website and to visit our HeartSmart™ Kids online program where you will be able to access free health promotion activities, resources and information you can use that will support in planning and executing your Event Day. 

Once again, we greatly appreciate your ongoing support.

Yes! Jump Rope for Heart is an online-first fundraising program. We encourage online fundraising for the following reasons:

It is a safe way for children and families to collect donations. Like parents and teachers, keeping children safe is our top priority. That’s why we encourage students to fundraise online, so they do not have to carry money on their person or rely on going door-to-door in neighbourhoods. It is also a secure way for children and families to collect donations from friends and family who live far away.  

It is more efficient and advantageous for schools to fundraise online. When students collect their donations online, teachers and administrators spend less time collecting and counting pledge envelopes. This means that Thank You Prizes will be received sooner! It is also easier for schools to track progress towards their school goal online as they can view donations in real-time and download a complete fundraising report on their total online impact and top fundraisers. 

It is an efficient and sustainable way for donors to give. When a donor gives online, they receive an electronic tax receipt immediately. No postage or transport is required and filing is paperless! 

It helps Heart & Stroke save on administration. This means more dollars can go directly towards our mission to beat heart disease and stroke.

While Jump is an online-first fundraising program, we understand that there may be circumstances that necessitate offline fundraising. For that reason, we have established a process that enables teachers to submit offline funds to Heart & Stroke at the conclusion of their school's Jump event.

To participate in offline fundraising, please follow these steps:

1. Print and utilize our provided pledge form.

2. Ensure that all donor information on the pledge form is legible, as this is essential for Heart & Stroke to issue tax receipts.

3. Submit the completed pledge form, along with the collected funds, to your school once your Jump Event has concluded.

If your school is part of the Thank You Gift Card program, kindly make sure to include a valid email address on the pledge form. This will enable Heart & Stroke to send the gift card via email.

While we encourage everyone to fundraise online-first, we want to ensure all students have the chance to get involved and help others by fundraising to beat heart disease and stroke. 

We strongly encourage parents to support their children's fundraising efforts by asking for support from family, friends, work colleagues and close neighbours online. For tips on how to get started online, please visit Families' Corner.

We offer online Thank You gift cards as a ‘thank you’ from Heart & Stroke for their hard work and to encourage them to stay physically active long after their Jump event. 

Gift cards are awarded to students who reach graduated fundraising levels, and we hope you redeem them for fitness-themed products. 

Some participating schools decide to opt-out of individual Thank You gift cards for students. Please check with your school to see if they offer online Thank You gift cards in their Jump Rope for Heart program

If your child’s school offers gift cards, you’ll receive an email to the address used to register your child 4-6 weeks after their Jump Event. This email will prompt you to visit the portal, enter your redemption code and select your online gift card from the available options: Indigo, Amazon.ca or Walmart.   

Indigo, Walmart and Amazon.ca cards are electronic gift cards that are emailed within 24-48 hours of your selection. 

All electronic gift cards can be redeemed online or in-store.

All online Thank You gift cards for National Jump Team participants will be ordered by June 30, 2026. Students on the National Jump Team can fundraise up until this date. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.

No, the matching gift campaign does not count towards prizes or incentives. Eligibility is based solely on your personal donation. However, this is a great way to double your impact in the fight to beat heart disease and stroke.
