How does your direct response program work?
WCHF’s direct response program provides donors with a number of opportunities – via both mail and telephone – to make a donation throughout the year. With a number of occasions to give, donors can choose the time of year that is best for them to donate. We are grateful for all donations we receive.

Does WCHF send out cards in honour or in memory of an individual?
Yes! Making a Tribute Gift is an excellent way to say you care – whether it’s honouring a friend or loved one, showing gratitude for care received, marking a special occasion (such as a birthday, anniversary, graduation), or celebrating a life through a memorial gift.

Donations can be made anonymously, or at the donor’s request, the Foundation will send a card to the honouree to let them know that a gift has been made on their behalf.

When a Tribute or Memorial gift is made, is the amount of the donation disclosed?
No. This information is kept strictly confidential unless otherwise instructed by you, the donor.

Can I donate equipment or materials such as toys or books to the Hospital?
Yes, we welcome the opportunity to discuss with you what is needed and what the hospital can best use. Each donation of equipment is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Contact us for guidelines.
