The Canadian government has created the Sahel Crisis Matching Fund to match donations made by Canadians to eligible charities retroactively from August 7 through September 30, 2012. They are matching all donations for the Sahel region of western Africa dollar for dollar.
The Canadian International Development Agency’s website says the following of the matching funds:
The Government of Canada announced that it would match dollar-for-dollar Canadian donations made to registered Canadian charities responding to the Sahel crisis through the Sahel Crisis Matching Fund. The government will also make an initial contribution of $10 million to the matching fund. This will enable humanitarian agencies to provide immediate food and nutritional support, emergency health care, water and sanitation, and livelihoods support…
Canada will match funds raised from August 7 to September 30, 2012. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will allocate these funds to established Canadian and international humanitarian organizations to support relief efforts that will benefit the people who are most affected by the food and nutrition crisis.
