Conservatives still lead in party fundraising as Liberals close in

Aug 6, 2025 | 9:14 AM

OTTAWA — 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.
