A fee of 2%, to a maximum of $5, can be added to your donation to offset administration fees, so more funds can go directly to our hospitals.
The admin fee helps offset costs associated with fundraising, such as resources required to process donations or issue tax receipts, communications, reporting and all other costs that support Osler Foundation’s fundraising efforts. Choosing to add a nominal amount to your donation helps offset administration fees so more can go directly to the cause.

Please contact Mary Watson at mary.watson@williamoslerhs.ca for more information.
