How You Can Help

All gifts to the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation regardless of the type or size of gift are appreciated and acknowledged. Listed below are different ways you can contribute. See the links under the How You can Help menu on the left for other opportunities.

•  Your gift of cash, cheque or money order is the simplest way to give to the Foundation. Cash gifts will be accepted for any purposes consistent with the Hospital’s mission and objectives.

•  A simple provision in your will to leave some of your assets to the Royal Alexandra Foundation.

•  The gift of a new or existing life insurance policy naming the Royal Alexandra Foundation as beneficiary.

•  A gift of publicly-traded, appreciated securities or employee stock options to the Royal Alexandra Foundation qualify for special benefits due to recent changes to Income Tax regulations.

•  You may choose to make the Royal Alexandra Foundation the beneficiary of either your RRSP or your RRIF or to direct some of the income from either to the Foundation during your lifetime or in your will.

•  If resale is permitted, the Royal Alexandra Foundation is pleased to consider your gift of real estate. The charitable deduction typically is based on the appraised market value.

•  The Foundation welcomes the opportunity to consider gifts in kind which might include works of art, antique furniture, mineral or petroleum interests, rare coins and the like.

•  Endowment funds are gifts to the Royal Alexandra Foundation where the principal amount is invested and only the annual interest income is used for work of the Hospital. The principle itself is not spent and continues to generate income annually to provide needed health care resources year after year. Large endowments can be named in honour of your family or yourself.

We offer gift recognition on our Donors’ Wall of Honour in the Main Lobby of the Royal Alexandra Hospital as well as recognition in various Foundation publications. Alternatively, some of our donors choose to remain anonymous. No matter how you choose to make your gift and receive recognition, your gift is very much needed and appreciated.
