1. We are the largest non-governmental granting agency in child health in Canada.
   
   

2. Unlike hospitals for adults, SickKids needs to buy special equipment in many different child sizes. That means our costs are higher because world-wide demand for small equipment is low.
   

3. Almost one third of the Research Institute’s budget comes from community donors like you.

4. Every year, people like Kelly Kilbride support SickKids by organizing a fundraising event. The community held over 1000 events in 2006!

5. Donations through the web are the most cost-effective for charities to process – 50% cheaper than donations made by phone or mail.

6. We have an Ethical & Financial Accountability Code. It’s our promise to you.

7. Generous and creative kids as young as eight years old have made a big difference in the lives of other children by fundraising for SickKids.

8. We are committed to keeping your personal data safe. We protect your information online with a VeriSign security certificate.

9. You can update your donor information online. It’s the easiest way to tell us if your information has changed.
