Donations to the Friends of GDH are tax efficient

When you donate to the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital, Canada Helps will issue to you a charitable donation tax receipt for the full amount of the donation. You can print the tax receipt directly from the donation page or retrieved at a later date. The tax receipt can also be emailed to you.

Some charities charge a large administration fee reducing the amount available to the cause however, Canada Helps only takes a small administration fee of 3% and transfers the funds to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) where it is segregated into an account specifically for the Friends of the Golden and District Hospital. The EKFH takes about 5% as an administration fee when equipment is purchased, so for every dollar donated approximately 92 cents is available to the hospital for the purchase of equipment. A very efficient way for you to support our community hospital!

Your tax credit will vary depending on your level of donation. For a donation of $500 from a BC resident, the tax credit is approximately $171.22 which will reduce your income tax payable.

Canadian Timberframes donated $5000 on behalf of it's employees


.. to the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital 2020 fundraiser.

Stephanie Bowes, Vice-President of Canadian Timberframes, stated "we are very proud to be able to make this donation to the hospital- a place that all of our employees use." 

Canadian Timberframes made their contribution by cheque so the donation does not show on the internet crowd-funding campaign. 

Thank you so much!

For people who wish to support the hospital and contribute to the campaign, but do not want to donate over the internet, the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital can accept cheques made out to the "East Kootenay Foundation for Health", with Friends of the GDH on the memo line Cheques can either be dropped off at the Hospital or call me and I can arrange to have them picked up.

The online fundraising page, Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital 2020, is accepting donations until Saturday October 11th 2020.

$7950 raised in the first week with 2 weeks to go.

In the first week of the campaign, the Friends have raised $7950 of the $25,000 goal. There were 57 newborns in 2019 and a similar number are expecting in 2020. If every family who had a newborn last year and all the families who are expecting in the next 9 months gave $100 we would reach our goal and be able to buy the Neonatal Cardiac Monitor for our community hospital.

Choose how much you can afford to donate to the Hospital and support the communities newborns. Remember you will get a charitable donation tax credit to reduce your income tax!! 

Large or small, all donations are welcome.
