As the year comes to a close, we at the Brockville & District Hospital Foundation reflect with gratitude on the incredible impact your generosity has had on our patients, healthcare professionals, and the broader community. Your support has been instrumental in advancing medical care and enhancing the overall patient experience. Now, as we launch our End-of-Year Giving Campaign, we invite you to help us continue this vital work.
The Impact of Your Donations
Your contributions have touched countless lives in profound ways. Here are some of the remarkable achievements made possible by your support over the past year:
Enhancing Patient Care
- State-of-the-Art Equipment: Donations funded the acquisition of advanced medical equipment, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
- Patient Comfort Initiatives: Support for programs that provide comfort items, therapeutic services, and a healing environment for patients and their families.
Community Health Programs
- Outreach Services: Support for outreach programs and health education workshops that bring essential services to underserved areas.
Patient Story:
Thanks to the support of loved ones and a collective donation from her immediate family, over $3,000 was raised in Jessica’s memory. These contributions honour her life and help ensure that compassionate care remains close to home for others.
Her husband, John, shared, “Donating local keeps care close to home.” The family expressed their gratitude for the comfort of knowing Jessica was cared for until the end.
— A Grateful Patient
Your generosity doesn’t just fund programs—it provides patients and families with dignity and care.
Tax Benefits of Charitable Giving
Giving before December 31st not only furthers our mission but may also provide you with valuable tax benefits. Here’s how your charitable donation can be advantageous:
Tax-Deductible Contributions
- Reduce Your Taxable Income: Donations to the Brockville & District Hospital Foundation, a registered charitable organization, are tax-deductible. Itemizing your deductions can lower your taxable income for the year.
- Maximize Deductions: There’s still time to make a meaningful gift that could enhance your deductions for this tax year.
Strategic Giving Options
- Gifts of Stock/Securities: Donating appreciated securities can provide significant tax advantages, including avoiding capital gains taxes.
Please consult with your tax advisor or financial planner to understand how these options may apply to your personal circumstances.
