The 2021 Federated Health Charities Campaign is officially underway!
To learn why this year’s campaign is so important, please read here.
This year’s campaign will run from April 1 – June 30. Ministries and agencies across the province will be running their individual campaigns within this timeframe.
There are five different ways you can get involved in this year’s campaign.
Payroll Pledges
Making a payroll pledge is the most popular way to give to the campaign. It is easy and efficient. You can direct your pledge to your charity(s) of choice and you also have the option of making your donation in honour or in memory of someone.
To make a payroll pledge you just log in to WIN , go to the My Charity tab, and follow the prompts. It’s that easy!
If you don’t have access to WIN you can complete the fillable donation form and email it directly to the appropriate OSS email address:
- North Bay: OSS.Payroll.NorthBay@ontario.ca
- Thunder Bay: OSS.Payroll.thunderbay@ontario.ca
- Orillia: OSS.Payroll.Orillia@ontario.ca
- GTA & rest of province: OSS.payroll.gta@ontario.ca
We also now offer the option of selecting Automatic Pledge Renewal. If you select this option your pledge will continue each year without you have to renew it.
One-Time Donations
If you would like to make a one-time donation of cash, cheque or credit care just complete the fillable donation form and email it to your ministry/agency campaign Treasurer.
Special Events
There are tons of fun special events happening across the OPS. Check out your ministry/agency communications to see what it is happening in your area. You can pay for admission into a special event here.
Lottery
The Federated Health lottery is one of the most anticipated parts of the campaign! There are 25,000 tickets for sale at $5 per ticket (plus online purchasing fee).
There are five cash prizes:
-2 prized of $1000

–Grand Prize of $15,000
Lottery tickets go on sale April 1 and can be purchased until June 25. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, so get yours before they sell out! Tickets can be purchased here.
Donation of Securities
Federated Health now offers the option of donation securities! A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Securities are fungible and tradable financial instruments used to raise capital in public and private markets. Since capital gains taxes don’t apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more. To donate securities click here.
