How Donations Are Handled

• Donations are collected year-round

• Official income tax receipts are issued by the Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH) Foundation and Hospital For Sick Children (HSC) Foundation (Toronto) for all monetary donations.  

• 100% of all donations go towards purchasing medical equipment.   

• Donations are very important to our efforts, and are greatly appreciated.  They can be made individually, by corporate sponsors or through the employees' charitable funds of many companies.

• The donor's name (but not the amount donated) is printed in the yearbook, which is issued in late July.  Donations received after June 15th are acknowledged in the programme for the following year.  Donors may remain anonymous, if preferred.

• We do not solicit donations by telephone or door-to-door. Neither do we give out donor names and addresses, other than to the Hospitals -- and even then, only for the purpose of providing income tax receipts.
