Is it safe to donate online?

Yes. Mghf.ca remains a secure website and our donation pages encrypt donor information to safely transmit it to a third-party database.

I’d like to donate, what are my options?

Michael Garron Hospital Foundation remains a safe place to donate. You can do so:

  • Online at mghf.ca/donate, which is a secured portal
  • By mailing a cheque payable to our office at 825 Coxwell Avenue, Office A128, Toronto, ON  M4C 3E7
  • With your credit card when you call 416-469-6003

If you’d prefer, you can also drop by the foundation office at A128 during business hours. Our team is pleased to assist.

Is the financial information I provide online being protected?

Yes. Donations made online at mghf.ca/donate are transmitted by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry standard for creating an encrypted, secure connection between your web browser and a web server. From there, we use iATS Payments, a company that’s certified by the Payment Card Industry (PCI), to ensure all our online transactions are handled securely.
