Your donation, your way

Gifts of publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) to the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give as you will not have to pay capital gains tax.

You also receive a charitable tax receipt based on the market value of the transferred securities, determined at the close of trading on the day we receive them. Our policy is to sell donated securities immediately upon receipt.

To realize the tax benefit, you must not sell the securities. Simply contact the Foundation at 905.623.3331 x 21881.

IN CELEBRATION OR HONOUR

Let others know you care. These gifts go on to directly help Bowmanville Hospital patients while providing a lasting tribute to the ones you care about.

You may designate your gift to a particular program or directly support the redevelopment and expansion project at Bowmanville Hospital.

REMEMBERING

Giving in memory of a loved one is a very meaningful way to honour their life. Gifts “in memory” may pay tribute, offer condolences or preserve the memory of treasured family members and friends.

The Bowmanville Hospital Foundation notifies the family of your gift as an expression of sympathy without mention of the amount.

When donations in memory of a loved one reach $1,000, we work with the family to recognize their loved one on the Foundation’s remembrance wall in the main lobby of the Hospital.

HONOURING

Giving a gift in honour of one of your caregivers – nurse, doctor, support staff or anyone on your health care team – is a wonderful way to say thank you for their care and compassion to you or your loved one.

The Foundation will send a personalized card to the honoured caregiver(s) to notify them of your support for Bowmanville Hospital in their name.

Celebration gifts to the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation in recognition of any special occasion in life are a perfect way to mark a milestone, while also helping the community.

The Foundation will send a letter to those being celebrated to inform them of your gift.

To make a legacy gift, contact 905.623.3331 x 21881 or use the Donation Form.

HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED?

Planned giving means creating a lasting legacy that ensures Bowmanville Hospital will be here to support the health care needs of Clarington for future generations.

If you have decided to remember the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation in your estate plans, we encourage you to let us know. We appreciate the opportunity to say thank you and recognize your loyalty through the J.W. Alexander Starlight Society. If you wish to remain anonymous, we will respect your wishes.

We appreciate the decision to leave a planned gift is a very personal commitment. It is important for you to discuss your plans with your family and your financial and legal advisors. They will help to ensure your gift fits your personal circumstances and that you maximize any tax advantages.
