Other Types Of Donations


Can I make a gift to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation through my Will?
Yes, your lawyer or notary can draft a simple clause as part of your Will that creates a gift, called a ‘bequest,’ to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. The gift can support a particular program of your choice. Since bequests take effect in the future and it can be difficult to predict the most critical healthcare needs in the years to come, a bequest for the general purposes of the Foundation might be the best choice. This gives the Foundation and the Hospital the flexibility to maximize the benefit of your gift. To ensure that your specific intentions can be fulfilled, please call 604-984-5785 or email us at info@lghfoundation.com.

Can I make a donation in memory of someone?
Yes, please enclose a note with your cheque stating the deceased’s name, the name and address of the next of kin and their relationship to the deceased and if there is a specific area you would like the donation to be directed.

The amount of your gift will be kept confidential and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation.
