General, non-designated donations to the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital Foundation, are the most common gifts we receive.  These gifts may be a one-time contribution or a long-term pledge, broken down into payments over a period of time. 

We accept:

The Foundation issues a charitable donation receipt for income tax purposes for each donation.

Other Ways to Give  

Tribute Gifts:

This type of gift is the perfect way to honour a special occasion such as a birthday, an anniversary, a baby or simply to express your appreciation to someone special.  The Foundation sends a tribute letter advising the individual being honoured that you have made a donation to the Markham Stouffville Hospital's Uxbridge Site in their name.  We then issue a tax receipt in your name. 

In Memoriam Gifts:

Memorial gifts honour the memory of a loved one or friend who has passed away.  The Foundation sends a memorial card to the next-of-kin and acknowledges the gift received. We never disclose the amount of individual gifts.  We do, however, supply families with a list of names and addresses of those who have made the donation in memory of their loved one and, if desired, the total amount donated. 

Planned Gifts:

Each year, the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital Foundation is grateful to receive bequests from the estates of people who really cared for the community and our hospital.  The Foundation appreciates the sincere honour of being included in a person’s Will or estate plan and works hard to ensure that these gifts are used responsibly and in compliance with the donor’s wishes.
