Given the Canada Post strike, how can I make a donation via mail?
We know many of you rely on the mail to send us your donations so we have set up enhanced ways for you to drop off your gift. You can visit the Foundation offices at 525 University Avenue, Suite 1400 – someone will be present to accept your gifts from 9am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you may drop off your donation to the secure Donation Box at SickKids Hospital, located just inside the Elizabeth Street entrance. Donations can always be made online.
We remain so grateful for the support - in all forms - from our generous donors.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds let you support multiple charities without establishing a private foundation.
When will I receive my tax receipt for my monthly gifts?
Monthly Donor tax receipts will be sent via email or mail (depending on the donor’s preferences) by the end of February. Please note there are two tax receipts for 2025; one for January-February and one for March-December. This is due to the Government of Canada’s extension of the deadline for charitable donations in 2024.
Is my information secure?
All information collected to become a monthly donor is used directly for tax receipting purposes and to update our donors on how their donations are making an impact. All information will remain confidential and will not be shared with any other organization. We do not share, sell or rent donor lists. Your contact preference can be changed at any time simply by calling us at 1-800-661-1083.
Why do the canvassers use a cell phone to collect my credit card information? Is that safe?
Our canvassers are equipped with PCI compliant, iPhone 4 handheld devices. It captures credit card information through a secure browser over a Virtual Private Network. The information is not stored on the device nor is it shared with anyone. It’s a safe and accurate way to acquire credit card information necessary for processing donations, and reduces administrative costs and human error.
I would like to make a gift in kind to SickKids Foundation. Where can I get more information?
Gifts in kind to SickKids Foundation can help to raise funds at events such as through live and silent auctions. In some instances, Gifts in kind to SickKids Foundation are provided to the Hospital. Beneficial items include sporting event or concert tickets as well as gift certificates. Gift in kind donations are subject to several Foundation policies - please contact donations.coordinator@sickkids.ca for more information.
