There are four ways to donate to the Federated Health Charities campaign:

• Payroll pledges
• One-time donations
• Special events
• Lottery tickets

Payroll pledges

Provincial employees in the Ontario Public Service (OPS), the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and participating crown agencies can donate to Federated Health Charities through their payroll. Payroll deductions are easy to set up and allow you to space your donation over up to 26 pay periods (i.e. one year), and your deduction will automatically be added to your T4, making it easy to claim your donation 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
• cannot access WIN

Please fill out a donation form and give the completed form to one of the Federated Health Charities canvassers in your ministry, OPP or agency campaign.

Payroll deductions (whether made by WIN or a donation form) will start with your first pay period in July. If you space your donation over a year (or 26 pay periods), payroll deductions will end with the last pay period in June the following year. You can also choose to have your payroll pledge automatically renew each year by selecting “Automatic Pledge Renewal” making donating to Federated Health Charities even easier.

Donate Securities

Securities are the most efficient way to give charitably. Capital gains taxes don’t apply when securities are donated, so Federated Health Charities receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution.

Donate Through Planned Giving

Bequests are a way to help ensure the future of the organizations you support and to know that your charitable interests will carry on into the future. A bequest is a statement incorporated into your will that you wish to have a certain portion of your assets given to Federated Health Charities in your name.
