We’re Shopping for Donors
Since 2004, SickKids Foundation has conducted face-to-face fundraising campaigns in malls, at events, airports, and other busy environments. Our mall and venue campaign engages and informs shoppers, and the general public, on ways they can help fund the fight for childhood at SickKids.
These donors provide critical unrestricted funding to create impact where it’s needed most now, and where it’s needed next. It’s the best way for donors to assure the best possible outcomes for kids, everywhere, now and in the future.
Public Outreach, our partner in mall and venue fundraising, employs honest and respectful representatives who fundraise on our behalf. Public Outreach employees are compensated through an hourly wage, with no commission. They receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of SickKids about our mission and fundraising program.
SickKids canvassers are compensated hourly. SickKids adheres to the Imagine Canada guidelines. To learn more about Imagine Canada and their standards, please visit http://www.imaginecanada.ca.
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.
The focus of the program is to acquire long-term donors who provide a continual source of funding for the Hospital. However, we will accept one-time donations. Any donation is valued by SickKids.
