We need your help to continue to provide
Hospice care free of charge.

Hospice care means people helping people. Financially speaking, Hospice Peterborough relies on individuals, businesses, churches and service organizations to provide more than 40% of our total budget. Your donation will help to ensure that we can continue to provide support to people in our community living with life threatening illness or grief.

 10 ways you can donate.

1. In Memoriam Donations

Many people choose to make Hospice Peterborough their charity of choice when their loved one dies. When you make an “in memoriam donation” to honour your own memories of a friend or a loved one Hospice Peterborough will send a card to the family to notify them of your gift and will send you a tax receipt.

2. Planned or Deferred Giving

A planned gift is a special gift for the future, which provides a source of financial support for Hospice Peterborough while also providing opportunities for individuals to achieve personal tax benefits. These gifts are arranged in the present, usually within an individual's estate or financial plan, but actualized at a later date. Examples of planned gifts include; bequests, life insurance, securities, charitable gift annuities, and gifts of personal and real property.

3. Events

Every year some of our community friends host events to benefit Hospice Peterborough. These third party events are an important source of funds. If you are interested in hosting an event to support end-of-life care in our community, please call. 

4. Events

Every year some of our community friends host events to benefit Hospice Peterborough. These third party events are an important source of funds. If you are interested in hosting an event to support end-of-life care in our community, please call.  Another way to help is by supporting our own annual fundraising events such as Hike for Hospice, our Golf Tournament and our Gala.

5. Endowment Fund

Contributing to Hospice Peterborough’s Endowment fund helps to ensure the future of Hospice programs. Your donation will be added to the existing capital of the fund and it will be preserved there while generating a perpetual source of income. Tax receipts are provided for all contributions.

6. Monthly Giving

Monthly Giving is a way of maximizing your contributions to Hospice Peterborough. Your regular, monthly gifts made through post dated cheques, VISA, AMEX or MasterCard, provide an anticipated stream of donations allowing us to fund our programs with certainty and giving us the ability to make commitments to projects that will have a long-term impact because we can rely on a regular monthly cash flow.

7. Matching Gifts

Your gifts to Hospice Peterborough can be doubled or tripled if your employer has a matching gifts program.  Check with your employee benefits office.

8. Gifts in Kind

Gifts-in-kind involve the donation of goods, securities, personal and real property in lieu of cash. As a registered charity, Hospice Peterborough can issue tax receipts for the fair market value of these gifts.

9. Donations in lieu of gifts

Many families choose to honour a special event like a birthday, anniversary or wedding by suggesting their guests make a donation to Hospice Peterborough in lieu of gifts.  We can prepare special cards for you to include with your invitations and your friends will receive a taxable receipt and acknowledgement of their gift. You will receive notice of all of the gifts we receive.

10. Donate Online

Hospice Peterborough is pleased to accept donations of cash, or donations through cheques, VISA, AMEX  or MasterCard. They can be mailed directly to us or dropped off at our community location at 439 Rubidge Street.
