Hospital Foundation - Donation Overview
Thank you for helping to enhance the care at St. Joseph's General Hospital. Please choose the type of donation you are making. Official tax receipts will be issued for ALL gifts.
WAYS TO GIVE
Gifts can be directed to the area of greatest need or to specific departments. It's your money; tell us how you'd like it used.
 General Donations
Help us to provide the high level of healthcare you want for yourself and your loved ones. State of the art and close to home, emergency care, disease treatment, surgical intervention, psychiatric care, extended care, diagnostic imaging, lab work ~ it's all here at St. Joseph's Hospital, but we need your help to keep it going and to continually upgrade the services.
In Memoriam
We often feel helpless in the face of someone else's grief. Letting them know that kind thoughts are with them is often the most helpful thing we can do. Memorial donations can expand the circle of our love and friendship while honouring the memory of our own and our friends' loved ones. A card will be sent to acknowledge your tribute. Gift amounts are not disclosed and tax receipts are issued.
Gifts in Honour
For the person who has everything ~ you can make a donation in honour of family, friends, co-workers or clients. You can make special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries even more special by marking the day with a donation. We will send a card to the honoree to let them know they are in your thoughts. Gift amounts are not disclosed and tax receipts are issued.
Monthly giving
A convenient way to spread your donation over the entire year, saving the cost and time of writing and mailing cheques. It lets you budget your generosity throughout the year - and you receive a single, cumulative tax receipt at the beginning of the following calendar year. You may choose to have funds withdrawn regularly from your bank account or from your credit card. It's easy, and you may update or cancel the arrangement at any time.
Matching gifts programs
Enable companies to match their employees' charitable donations (or volunteer efforts) on a 1:1, 1:2 or even a 1:3 ratio. In order to double (or maybe even triple!) the impact of the gift, a person should follow these simple steps:
- Ask your Human Resources Department if your employer has a Matching Gift program.
- Obtain a form from your HR Department and submit the form with your donation.
Planned Giving
Gifts of Securities (stocks, bonds and mutual funds) are eligible for special tax treatment on the capital gain. The gift receipt issued is based on the value of the securities at the close of business on the day of transfer.
Gifts of Appreciated Property, sometimes called gifts-in-kind, can take many forms including real estate.
Bequests, gifts of life insurance, charitable annuities, and charitable remainder trusts are just a few more ways in which you can make a gift to the Foundation and enjoy considerable tax savings for yourself or your estate.
