Designating Your Gift

A designated gift can benefit the development and continuation of our leading programs in children's clinical care, medical research and teaching. An undesignated gift allows SickKids Foundation to allocate your resources to the most urgent need.

Funds can be endowed in an area of need and can be named in honour of a family member, friend, colleague or in your own name.

A gift of $50,000 is the minimum required to establish an Endowment Fund.

Supporting the broader aims of child health in Canada to develop research skills in paediatric health sciences and generating knowledge in specific areas relating to child health. This is accomplished through scholarships, fellowships, research project funding and granting.
