Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital

The Friends of the Golden & District Hospital have created an online crowd-funding page titled; “Giving Thanks to the Golden and District Hospital”. This page is hosted on the Canada Helps.org platform, a web site specifically designed for charities.

The online crowd funding page will open for donations on October 6^th and close on October 11^th 2015. Once the page goes live, details of the location of the page will be made available. Mark your calendar October 6^th to remind you to make a donation.

Canada Helps will issue a charitable donation tax receipt for the full amount of the donation. The tax receipt will be emailed to you automatically. You can also print the tax receipt directly from the donation page. Your tax credit will vary depending on your level of donation. To calculate the tax credit visit the Canada Revenue agency website

The donations are subject to an administration fee to Canada Helps of only 1.8%. Like all online transactions, online charitable gift are subject to transaction process fees from the banks and credit card companies; typically between 3% and 4%. As a result, the EKFH will receive approximately 95 cents from every $1 donated.
