Donate
Thank you for your interest in supporting Hospice Orillia. All of our services are offered at no cost to the client or family receiving care. Government funding covers a portion of our operating costs, but we also rely on donations from our community to continue providing practical, emotional and spiritual support to those in Orillia and surrounding areas coping with advanced illness, death and bereavement.

GIFTS IN WILL OR BEQUEST
A will is the easiest and most effective means to ensure that you fully provide for your family and that your assets are distributed as you wish. Gifts by will or bequests provide continuing support of the ongoing work of Hospice Orillia. To include a gift to Hospice Orillia in your will, follow these two steps:
1. Record our full legal name and charitable business number: Hospice Orillia Charitable Business Number: 135837748RR0001
2. Choose one of the following sample clauses which you can share with your Legal Advisor. Although your lawyer will review all the terms of your will, the following is suggested wording for gifts to Hospice Orillia:
Standard Will Clauses
Suggested will clause wording for an unrestricted specific bequest: I give the sum of ___________ (insert a specific dollar amount) to Hospice Orillia for its general purposes as Hospice Orillia sees fit.
Suggested will clause wording for unrestricted residual bequest: I give the _____ % of the residue of my estate to Hospice Orillia for its general purposes as Hospice Orillia sees fit.
We are excited to share our 2025 Holiday Gift Giving Guide. If you are looking for a unique way to honour family during the holiday season why not donate in their name rather than purchasing gifts!!
By donating to Hospice Orillia in honour of your loved one not only are you giving a unique gift but you are also providing support to those in need. This year, our Holiday Gift Giving Guide will show you how your donation can help.
When you make a donation this holiday season we would be happy to send a card on your behalf to notify them. Below are a few examples of how your donations help!
How to make a donation:
✨ Drop Off: Visit the reception desk at the Common Roof Building (169 Front St. S.), Monday–Friday, to drop off your donation.

✨ E-Transfer: Contact Amanda at amanda@hospiceorillia.ca for details on how to donate via E-Transfer.
A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. 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.
Third Party Events are fundraisers held on behalf of Hospice Orillia, but organized and run independently. We are grateful to the businesses, service clubs, organizations and families that donate the proceeds of these events to us. Third party events help to not only generate revenue for Hospice Orillia but also to raise public awareness of the role the Hospice Orillia plays in providing practical, emotional and spiritual support to those in our community coping with advanced illness, death and bereavement.
Although Hospice Orillia encourages third-party fundraising events, we require that events submit a third-party event registration form. Hospice Orillia maintains the right to decline events. This is an important safeguard in preserving the integrity of our charitable status, name and reputation as well as our commitment to our donors. When you are ready with your plan, please fill out our third party event registration form and return either via email or regular mail.
