Conservatives still lead in party fundraising as Liberals close in

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 06 Aug, 2025 09:43 AM

The Conservatives are still bringing in more through donations than any other federal political party, but their fundraising has dropped since the spring election.

The Tories raised just over $9.1 million in the quarter that ended in June, through donations from more than 82,000 people.

That outpaced the Liberals, who brought in $7.7 million from more than 116,000 donors.

It's a steep drop for the Conservatives from their pre-election fundraising push, which raised $28 million in the first quarter of this year.

The NDP's numbers have been steady this year, with more than 38,000 people giving the party $1.9 million in the last quarter.

The New Democrats lost official party status in the April election and political strategists have warned they're in a challenging financial position, with loans to repay and far less money coming in from Elections Canada.
