Can I leave a gift to a specific designation?
We encourage you to first consider an unrestricted donation, which gives us the flexibility to deploy funds in the areas of greatest need—and greatest promise. (We can’t predict where we will need funds down the road, nor can we know what research, projects, or funding will be underway when a gift is realized.) However, if you do decide to designate your gift to a specific area, let us know so we can help with the wording and ensure that your gift goes where you want it to.
Can I volunteer with my friends and family?
Definitely! The more the merrier. We require all volunteers to complete the volunteer application form. If you’d like to volunteer together for the same event or activity, please be sure to let us know, so we can place you as a group. We will try our best to accommodate these requests, but can’t always guarantee this due to limited availability.

Is there a minimum age requirement to volunteer?
Yes, all event and office volunteers must be at least 14 years old to participate. Please note that some roles require volunteers to be of legal age (19+).
I am an American citizen. Can I get a U.S. Tax Receipt for Donating to SickKids Foundation?
Direct contributions from U.S. resident donors to Canadian charities, such as SickKids Foundation, are generally not tax deductible in the United States. However, Friends of The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Inc. (“Friends”), is an independent American charity that has provided support to SickKids Foundation. Friends is a registered U.S. Charity with 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Services. Friends provides U.S. tax receipts to individuals or corporate donors. You can make a donation online to Friends at Network For Good by clicking here. If you wish to donate directly to Friends by cheque, securities or real property, please review our FAQ sheet here about different ways to donate
