What is a gift confirmation receipt and how does it differ from a regular tax receipt?

add remove

A "receipt" refers to any document issued by the Foundation to confirm that it received something from another party. A "charitable receipt" is for income tax purposes and allows donors to reduce their income tax. "Gift confirmations" are issued by the Foundation to donors to confirm a gift where a "charitable receipt" is not warranted.

Precision Child Health is a SickKids Fundraising Priority. What is it?

add remove

Precision Child Health (PCH) is the future of children’s healthcare, and SickKids is leading the way. PCH is the end of healthcare based on the ‘average’ child; it’s SickKids focussing precisely on everything that makes each individual patient who they are from their postal code to their genetic code to do three big things: diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better. Delivering care that’s as unique as every child requires funding. You’ll be giving brilliant doctors, nurses, and researchers the equipment they need; supporting data analytics that will lead to better prediction and prevention of disease; and assisting in the development of even more personalized surgical and treatment techniques to make every kid a healthy kid.
