I see fundraisers on the street in Toronto. Is this part of your program?
No, SickKids does not participate in street fundraising. Many other charities raise money through street fundraising. SickKids, however, is not one of them.
Why do we do face-to-face fundraising?
Face-to-face fundraising represents our most successful way of growing our monthly donor community. Monthly donations, regardless of size, are crucial because it helps us to build long-term relationships with our donors. Giving monthly lets our donors spread out their giving over the course of the year, and provides SickKids with a strong foundation of support that we can count on every month. It also allows us to save on paper and processing, which increases efficiency and sustainability.
Fundraising Practices
SickKids Foundation fundraising solicitations will be truthful and accurately describe its activities and the intended use of donated funds.
