Payroll Pledges

Payroll Pledges

Provincial employees in the Ontario Public Service (OPS), the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and participating provincial agencies can donate to Federated Health Charities through their payroll. Payroll deductions are easy to set up and allow you to space out your donation over up to 26 pay periods (i.e. one year). When you donate through your payroll, your donation will automatically be added to your T4, making it easy to claim this amount as part of your tax return.

Provincial employees with a WIN number and access to the WIN system can make payroll deductions via the self-service portal. Just sign into My OPS to access WIN using your WIN ID and choose the “My Charity” tab from the main menu to make your donation.

If you:

• do NOT have a WIN ID, or
• cannot access WIN

You can donate to Federated Health Charities by filling out a donation form and giving the completed form to one of the Federated Health Charities canvassers in your ministry, OPP, or agency.

Payroll deductions made through WIN or a donation form will start with your first pay period in July. If you space out your donation over a year (or 26 pay periods), payroll deductions will end with the last pay period in June of the following year. You can also automatically renew your payroll pledge each year by leaving the number of payroll deductions blank, making donating to Federated Health Charities even easier.
