Fundraise

Hospice Orillia relies on community donations for operational support of our programs and services.  Government funding covers a portion of our operating costs, but we rely on donations from our community to continue to run our programs.

We are only able to maintain our level and quality of services because of the generosity of our supporters – through their gifts and their volunteer activities. Collectively our community’s support enables us to deliver programs and services to all our clients and their families without cost.

Please see below for several opportunities to financially support the work of Hospice Orillia!

Annual Appeal

Each year Hospice Orillia reaches out to donors to ask for support of our Annual Appeal. The funds generated through the Annual Appeal go towards helping those in need of practical, emotional and spiritual support while coping with advanced illness, death and bereavement.

While Hospice Orillia receives partial funding, we are responsible for raising the balance of the funds required to continue offering the programs free of charge to those in need. To review this year’s Annual Appeal please click on the image.

Please feel free to share with your friends or family; sharing our Annual Appeal helps increase its success!

Hike for Hospice

Hike for Hospice

Hospice Orillia and Mariposa House Hospice are excited to be partnering on the 2026 annual Hike for Hospice!!

On Sunday, May 3rd, 2026, we will gather in person for the annual Hike for Hospice in support of Hospice Orillia and Mariposa House Hospice.

The Hike for Hospice is integral for both organizations as it enhances our sense of community, increases awareness of Hospice Palliative Care, and raises much-needed funds. 100% of the proceeds stay in the Orillia area by directly supporting the services offered by Hospice Orillia and Mariposa House Hospice; these organizations work together to provide services across the continuum of hospice palliative care, from diagnosis through end-of-life, including bereavement support for surviving loved ones.

We look forward to you joining us for the 2026 Hike for Hospice.

Third Party Fundraising Events

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.

Thank you for your interest in fundraising in support of Hospice Orillia!

Some of these Events include:

  • Barbecues
  • Birthday Parties
  • Competitions & Recreational Activities where participants solicit pledges
  • Concert
  • Galas and Dances
  • Game Nights
  • Golf Tournament
  • Local Talent Nights
  • Spa Parties
  • Wedding Gifts
Third Party Event Package

Understanding What You’re Feeling

Grief is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. It can also be a reaction to the loss of relationships, physical ability, opportunities or future hopes and dreams.

Bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one. It is the time after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs.

Mourning is the external expression of grief. It includes rituals that mark someone’s death, such as funerals, wakes or memorial services. Mourning is strongly influenced by a person’s spiritual and cultural beliefs and practices.

    Land Acknowledgement

    We would like to acknowledge that the land which we are gathered on today is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation; specifically, the Chippewa Tri – Council comprised of the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Rama and Georgina Island First Nations and more recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River First Nation.

    Ontario is covered by 46 treaties and other agreements and is home to many Indigenous Nations from across Turtle Island, including the Inuit and the Métis. These treaties and other agreements, including the One Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, are agreements to peaceably share and care for the land and its resources. Other Indigenous Nations, Europeans, and newcomers were invited into this covenant in the spirit of respect, peace, and friendship.

    Most of us have come here as settlers, immigrants, or newcomers in this generation or generations past.

    We are all Treaty people.  Every day we are mindful of broken covenants, and we strive to make this right. We commit to collaborating based on the foundational assumption that Indigenous Peoples have the power, strength, and competency to develop culturally specific strategies for their communities.  We are dedicated to honouring Indigenous self-determination, history, and culture, and are committed to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation and respect with all First Nation, Métis and Inuit people.
