We are committed to raising money for Children’s Hospital and Children’s Health Research Institute in the most effective and efficient manner possible. In 2011, our cost per dollar raised was 32.9 cents, in line with industry standards and the Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.

Donor Bill of Rights

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have rights.

The Donor Bill of Rights was created by the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel (AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). It has been endorsed by numerous organizations.
