Tribute Giving in the name of a loved one

A Donation to the KGH Foundation
makes an Excellent Gift

It’s called tribute giving – a commemorative donation that recognizes, honours, and/or celebrates people and events. When you give to the KGH Foundation, you have the option to give in tribute (memory, honor, celebration) of someone special, including a donation in lieu of flowers in memory of a special someone, a gift in celebration of a friend or family member’s special event, or even a gift to honor your healthcare team. Your tribute gift makes a big difference.

In Memory.

A Gift in Memory allows you to express your condolences, and you may select a card to be sent to the next of kin (mail or email). Your donation amount remains confidential.

Remembrance Birds engraved with the name(s) of honoured individuals are displayed on the Remembrance Wall in the hospital with a minimum donation of $2,500. To request a bird, please complete the form below. Alternatively, when KGH Foundation receives memorial donations and they reach $2,500, we notify the next of kin to offer this recognition.

In Celebration.

A donation in celebration of a special-someone is a great way to say ‘thank-you’, ‘happy birthday’, ‘happy anniversary’ or simply ‘I’m thinking of you’.

When you make your gift online, you can even opt to have us send a card (mail or email) on your behalf. The amount of your gift is kept strictly confidential.

“Linking the passion and desires of donors to the needs/opportunities of the health system and KGH is such a privilege. I am inspired most by the people; our team, donors, clinicians & caregivers, and administrators and ultimately, the transformative changes to our system of care that become possible when we work together. I am grateful to be able to feel such purpose in my work.”
