How donor-advised funds work
Typically, donor-advised funds are managed by financial institutions, private foundations or community foundations. When you contribute to a donor-advised fund, it issues you a charitable tax receipt. You can then advise the fund administrator to grant gifts to your chosen charities. The fund administrator will not share your name with the charities without your permission. If you make donations to Michael Garron Hospital Foundation this way, please let us know so we can thank you personally.
The impact of every donation is felt throughout our hospital. To honour commitments of $25,000 or more, we offer numerous recognition opportunities and would be pleased to speak about celebrating your philanthropy in a way that’s most meaningful to you.
