There are a conflict between the English and Chinese version. From the web page is:

"5 made between May 12, 2008, and June 23, 2008." But the chinese version says:
"(5) 捐款日期为 2008 年 5 月 15 日至 6 月 6 日。"

英文版本今天刚刚修改过，旁边小方框里有说明，表示对应拨款起始日期已经提前到地震发生之日，即五月十二号，截止日也推迟到六月廿三日。中文版本显然忘了修改。

In order to better respond to the needs of Chinese citizens and more effectively match the generosity of Canadians, the dates during which the government will match eligible donations have been extended to begin from the date of the earthquake, May 12, and ending June 23. Organizations will now have until Monday, July 21 to submit their letters of attestation indicating the amount of donations they have collected.

Eligible donations

Eligible donations will

• include amounts from a fundraising event undertaken to raise money from individuals in response to the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan. This fundraising may be undertaken by schools, faith-based organizations, clubs, social groups, businesses, incorporated entities, or charitable organizations;
• exclude any donations by corporations, governments, businesses, partnerships, schools, incorporated or non-incorporated entities, and unions from their existing resources that were not raised from individuals specifically in response to the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan;
• ensure no double-counting of donations (i.e. donations collected by a registered Canadian charitable organization and given to another such organization should be declared only once to CIDA); and
• exclude donations that were made by corporations, governments, incorporated entities, charitable organizations, unions, or government bodies (provincial, territorial, or municipal) to augment an amount raised in a fundraising activity or event.
