Canaccord Genuity FUNdraises for SickKid...

Employees of the Great Camp Adventure’s title sponsor, Canaccord Genuity, are preparing themselves for another season of FUNdraising in support of SickKids.

Why does SickKids use a third/outside party to hire fundraisers?

SickKids utilizes the expertise of a third party to help us reach our fundraising goals. We partner with Globalfaces and Public Outreach to conduct our face-to-face programs. In keeping with Imagine Canada’s Standards Program and best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers are compensated through an hourly wage with no commission. They receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of SickKids about our work and fundraising programs.

VS Better Outcomes

A new operating suite will give surgeons instant access to cutting-edge technology, reduce a child’s pain, and lower the risk of complications.

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.

Do you combine gifts towards named endowment funds made during our lifetime and from our estate recognition purposes?

Yes. Named endowment funds can be established during a donor’s lifetime and can be funded in part or completely through future giving. These endowments are considered gifts in perpetuity, and it’s possible for your family to continue contributing to, and receiving updates about, these funds. SickKids acknowledges cumulative lifetime and future gifts for the recognition, which can include naming, an inscription on our Donor Wall, and other forms of recognition.

How do I include a gift in my will?

1. Speak to your lawyer about drafting or revising your will, an essential step to protect your family’s future and ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

2. Add the appropriate wording in your will to leave a gift to SickKids, with which our team can help you.

3. Let us know about your bequest, so we can show our appreciation and ensure your intentions are properly understood and honoured.
