StoryMaker – Monthly giving
Monthly giving is your opportunity to give regular smaller amounts that make a significant impact in the lives of our Island kids and families.
One-time gift
You can make a difference in the life of a child today. Your one-time donation will help them access the support they need when they need it.
Planned giving
Ensure Island kids have access to the care they need for decades to come. Contact us to learn more about donating to Children’s Health Foundation in your will.
Gift of securities
Rather than selling your securities, 50% of which is subject to tax, you can completely eliminate capital gains tax by donating your securities.
Give in memory
Honour a loved one by donating in their name, whether you’re celebrating a wedding or the life of a relative, friend or colleague who has passed.
Corporate giving
Companies that engage in corporate social responsibility enjoy benefits that help attract and retain employees, consumers, and deliver a positive image in the community.
You can make a difference by giving to the area of greatest need
You can make a difference in the life of a kid today. Your one-time or monthly donation will help them access the support they need when they need it.

How do I leave a gift in securities?
- Notify your financial advisor that you wish to transfer securities. With the help of your advisor, complete and sign this Letter of Authorization (provides your advisor with the authority to transfer the securities to our brokerage account).
- Follow the instructions on the form to advise our broker and our office of your transfer.
- When we receive the transferred securities (which can take a few days—or weeks, in the case of mutual funds), we will issue you a tax receipt for the closing price of the securities on the date they were received into our account.
We ask that you let us know when you’ve initiated a transfer as there can be a delay between your request to your broker and the donation arriving in our account. If we know of your intention, we can help facilitate the process.
Does Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island do door-to-door fundraising?
If you live in Victoria, our fundraisers may come to your door to speak with you about becoming a monthly donor. Door-to-door fundraising is one of the most effective and impactful ways for us to connect with people to share how a monthly contribution ensures consistent, reliable support for Island kids with complex health needs.
