Why can’t I give a cash donation to the fundraiser?
For safety reasons, we do not allow our fundraisers to accept or carry cash donations. If you are interested in making a donation, please do so using our online donation form.
What is your monthly donor giving program?

Your loyalty enables our winning tradition. Become a monthly donor today.
When an in Memory of/In Honour gift is made, is the amount of the donation disclosed?
No. This information is kept strictly confidential unless the donor instructs us otherwise.
Why is SickKids calling me?
There are many reasons why SickKids would be calling. If you’ve made a donation, you could be receiving a thank you or welcome call. We have other fundraising initiatives such as matching gift campaigns, monthly giving, legacy giving, gifts of security that our donors might be interested in.
How do I know if the fundraiser is really from SickKids?
SickKids fundraisers can be easily identified by their identification badges (which they should present upon request). They will also be wearing SickKids branded items such as vests, polo shirts and tablet bags. Our fundraisers carry touchless tablets to efficiently collect your contact information only and will never accept cheques or cash at the door.
I received a phone call from someone saying they worked at SickKids. Is this legitimate?
Yes, after a monthly donation is made, we call to verify and confirm your commitment to becoming a monthly donor. We want to make sure you’re comfortable with the details of your new monthly investment.
Are your fundraisers paid or volunteers?
SickKids fundraisers are compensated hourly. SickKids adheres to the Imagine Canada guidelines. To learn more about Imagine Canada and their standards, please visit their website.
