I recently requested and paid for some customized data from Statistics Canada on donations to charities by income percentile. Here is the data on family giving, followed by some source information from Statistics Canada. I have also posted a blog with similar information but related to individuals rather than families. I will be commenting on the data in upcoming posts.
The first table is deciles of individual total income. The second table is looking at the top 1%, .3%, .2% and .1% percentile.

| 1. Deciles are derived using census family total income before taxes, records that have 0 total income are excluded from decile calculation | |||
