Financial Donations
Financial donations to the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation are accepted in any amount, as all donations make a difference at our hospital. Your support is greatly appreciated. You can make your donation by phone (519-482-3440 ext. 6297), by mail, in person or online.
Donate Online
Make an immediate impact with a one-time donation. Your support helps fund advanced equipment and leading-edge technology, ensuring patients receive the highest quality care.
Choosing to give on a recurring basis is a powerful way to support compassionate, high-quality care at Clinton Public Hospital all year round. Whether you give weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually, your ongoing support helps us plan for the future and respond to the hospital’s most urgent needs—when it matters most.
Recurring gifts are easy to set up, and you can change or cancel your donation at any time. This flexible option allows you to make a meaningful difference in a way that works best for you.
Tax receipts are issued for financial donations and the Charitable Donation Tax Credit (CDTC) is available for anyone who makes a donation. At the federal level, your credit will be 15% of the first $200 of donations made and 29% of your additional donations. Additionally, each province has similar credits, with Ontario’s rates currently being a credit of 5.05% for the first $200 of donations and 11.16% of your additional donations.
Honour Someone Important to You
Celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed, honour someone special, or acknowledge a milestone with a gift that will change lives.
The “Grateful Patient Program” allows patients and their families an opportunity to express their gratitude for care received at Clinton Public Hospital. This is a kind way to express your thanks to physicians, nurses or any member of the health team. Consider donating to the Foundation as your way of saying “Thank you”.
Legacy Giving
Most of us would like to be remembered for making a significant contribution to the life of our community. Whether we have lived in Clinton and surrounding area more recently, or for our entire lives, it is the people around us who have brought us joy and purpose. When planning our estates, it seems fitting to put something back into the community which has nurtured us.
A planned gift to the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation is one way to show your appreciation and contribute to the health and well-being of your family. Planned Giving is the process of making arrangements now to provide a donation in the future. With a little careful thought and sound advice, you can make a gift which will benefit your community and have a positive impact on the tax status of your estate. Planned Giving can provide you with immediate or delayed tax relief, and you can help reduce the amount of income tax paid by you or your estate.
Stocks & Securities
Did you know that donating publicly traded securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, can be one of the most tax-smart ways to support the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation?
When you donate securities directly to a registered charity like ours, you not only make a meaningful difference in local healthcare, but you also receive significant tax advantages that may not apply to a cash gift.
Maximize Your Impact While Minimizing Taxes
Gifting appreciated securities allows you to:
- Eliminate capital gains tax on the increase in value.
- Receive a full charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities at the time of donation.
- Support critical healthcare priorities right here in our community – such as medical equipment, facility upgrades, and staff education.
By donating securities directly, your gift has greater impact – costing you less while doing more.
How It Works
When you sell investments that have increased in value, 50% of the capital gain is typically taxable. However, when you donate those investments directly to a charity, that capital gain is completely tax-exempt.
This means you may end up paying less in taxes while still receiving a donation receipt for the full value, making it a win-win for you and for the hospital.
Talk to Your Advisor
Donating securities can be a powerful part of your charitable and financial planning. We recommend speaking with your financial advisor to determine what’s best for your situation.
Fundraising Events & Opportunities
By attending fundraising events hosted by the Foundation, you are supporting the Clinton Public Hospital. The Biennial Gala, Legend’s Day with the Clinton Raceway, and CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon, have all proven to be a great success in raising funds for our hospital. Please continue to support the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation’s fundraising events by purchasing a ticket, donating a prize, sponsorships, or giving to the Foundation.
Host your own Third-Party Fundraising Event and donate the proceeds to the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation. As an individual, group, business or organization, you can make a significant contribution to the Clinton Public Hospital and the health of those in our community. Please read our Third-Party Fundraiser Guidelines and complete the Third Party Fundraising Event Proposal and Agreement therein. Once both the proposal and agreement have been completed, feel free to forward along to the Foundation Office either by mail, in person or by email. Please contact the Foundation Office for approval, prior to using the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation’s name in any event.
We welcome individuals, community groups, businesses or organizations to align your local community development goals with ours and sponsor a community event in support of the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation. Foundation approval is required before using the CPH Foundation name in the event. We have been the recipient of many community minded contributions through activities such as golf tournaments, community breakfasts and a wedding show.
Support Physician Recruitment & Staff Education
The CPH Foundation partners with the HPHA and Clinton Family Health Team to support the work of attracting new physicians to our hospital and community clinic. Recruitment is an ongoing activity that requires community support. Having access to high quality medical professionals is a vital part of our local healthcare landscape.
The Clinton Public Hospital Staff Education Fund was established thanks to the generosity of Gord Lavis and members of the Clinton community. This fund is dedicated to supporting the continued education and professional development of Clinton Public Hospital staff, with the ultimate goal of enhancing patient care.
To ensure this important initiative continues to thrive, ongoing donations are essential. Your support helps our staff grow, learn, and deliver the highest standard of care to our patients.
Make a Difference in Someone's Journey
Every act of generosity makes a difference in the lives of patients and families in our community. Whether you choose to give online, fundraise with us, or explore other ways to contribute, your support matters.
