A) Event Sponsorship

Visibly demonstrate your company’s commitment to local health care and boost your profile in the community by supporting one of the Grace Hospital Foundation’s exciting fundraising events!

B) Donation Matching

A Match Campaign is one where a donor (an individual or group) has pledged to give a significant financial contribution to the charity to “match” all donations from other supporters during events or fundraising campaigns. Match campaigns multiply the impact of each donation!

C) Cause Marketing

Integrate your company’s focus on supporting local healthcare into your everyday business through a cooperative fundraising effort with your customers. For instance, a restaurant donates $1 from every customer bill for a set time period, or a transactional gift program, where shoppers are asked to add a donation onto their purchases at check out.

Programs like these raise your public profile while raising important funds for the Grace. They can increase customer loyalty by demonstrating your commitment to the community.

D) Workplace Donation Initiatives

Businesses can lead the way for their employees to become spirited about giving back to their community.

Payroll Deductions

Many companies encourage their employees to make charitable contributions by offering workplace giving programs such as payroll deduction, through which contributions are deducted directly from the employee's pay cheque.

Employer Donation Matching

A matching gift is a donation made by an employer that matches the amount of an employee's gift. Depending on the matching strategy a company has in place, it may match an employee's gift dollar-for-dollar or in multiples, resulting in a much larger, more impactful gift. Corporate matching demonstrates to your employees that you support their charitable giving and involvement in striving for excellence in health.

Employee Engagement

There are a wide range of activities and giving opportunities to engage your employees, raise your corporate profile and benefit the Grace. For example, your employees could organize a third-party event (like a sporting tournament, barbecue, or a benefit concert) and donate the proceeds to the Grace.

E) Third Party Fundraisers

Feel a sense of accomplishment by setting up your own fundraiser and rallying your friends, family, colleagues, coworkers, and acquaintances to support Grace Hospital!

Donation Through Celebration

Donating in celebration of a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or festive occasion is a wonderful way to add meaning to a special day. This type of charity donation is limited only by your imagination! With in-celebration charity donations, guests can make a charity donation in lieu of gifts, or the gift-giver can replace a traditional gift (such as such a wedding favour, birthday or Christmas presents) with a charity donation.

Host Your Own Event

Get creative, have some fun, stand proud, and host an event such as a golf tournament, pancake breakfast, bake sale, or community barbeque! No matter if your event is big or small, we’re honoured and grateful to be your charity of choice.
