In person: At this time, we are not taking walk-in donations. Foundation staff are following the directives from Toronto Public Health and continuing to work from home. Both offices at Toronto General and Toronto Western hospitals remain closed to the public.

If you have misplaced a receipt or noted an error, please contact us at 416-603-5300 or [email protected].

Regardless of whether your receipt was originally issued by Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation, Toronto Rehab Foundation, or UHN Foundation, we can help!

Please note that currently the Foundation provides receipts for gifts under $15 upon request only.

Government funding only covers the basics of health care, and fundraising is critical to ensuring UHN can deliver world-class care and get revolutionary research off the ground. Support from past patients who have experienced care here plays an integral role in enabling the Foundation to raise much-needed additional funds for our hospitals.

The practice of soliciting past patients is a common and regulated process governed by the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). No personal health information is shared with the Foundation, only your name and address is provided to us by the hospital as regulated under PHIPA.

Under PHIPA, you have the right to request no future fundraising appeals be sent to you. To make such a request please contact the Foundation at 416-603-5300 or [email protected], providing your full name and address to ensure we can remove you from all future mailings.

For more information, you can view the Foundation’s privacy policy as well as UHN’s privacy policy.
