Make a Donation

Orthopaedic medicine treats a wide variety of bone and joint injuries, disorders, and diseases in people of all ages. The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation invests gifts from individuals like you to foster research, provide public and professional education, and improve delivery of care. We strive to ensure that quality orthopaedic care is available when and where you need it.

Make a one-time donation, become a monthly supporter, or give in honour of someone special. The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation has partnered with CanadaHelps.org, a not-for-profit charity portal and a registered public foundation that seeks to promote and facilitate philanthropy through online giving.

How do you donate on-line?

Click on the 'donate now' button (at right) and follow the instructions to donate on-line through CanadaHelps.org. All information entered is strictly confidential and securely protected. Donor information is only provided to the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation.

How do on-line donors get a receipt?

Donations made through the CanadaHelps.org website are treated in the same way as regular receiptable charitable donations. The Canada Revenue Agency has approved the use of electronic tax receipts. Usually within minutes of successfully completing a donation, the donor receives an e-mail notification confirming the transaction. Because CanadaHelps.org is a registered public foundation, donors receive an e-receipt for a donation to CanadaHelps.org. However, please be assured the donation is processed and funds are directed to the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation bank account. Your e-receipt is all you need to complete your personal income tax return.

Can on-line donors make an anonymous donation?

Yes. All that is required is that the donor checks the appropriate box when prompted and anonymity is guaranteed.

I'm not comfortable making an on-line donation. Is there another way to donate?

Yes. Click on the Donation Form (PDF) link below and print the donation form. Complete and send, along with your cheque or credit card information, to the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation as noted on the form. Your receipt will be mailed to you.
