Personal Giving: Assisting with Current Needs
1. General Gift: Make a donation in your own name to help support Hospice programs and services.
2. Memorial Gift: A gift in memory of a loved one is a special way to support Hospice. It is often a thoughtful remembrance in place of funeral flowers. Many people make annual contributions in memory of loved ones. The Hospice Association will send a personalized card acknowledging your gift.
3. In Honour Gift: Special "in honour of" gifts are a meaningful way to commemorate a holiday, birthday, wedding, or other special occasion. The special person you honour will receive a card from the Central Okanagan Hospice Association acknowledging your generous gift.
4. Annual Giving: Become a Hospice yearly donor by planning an annual seasonal donation to support our expanding services and projects. Many donors add us to their Christmas giving list as a commitment to continued philanthropy.
Business Giving
1. Charity of Choice: Organizations are invited to select Central Okanagan Hospice Association (Hospice) as a charity of choice, encouraging employees to volunteer, hosting fundraising events, and promoting Hospice events.
2. Employee Giving: Many companies enable their employees to support Hospice by designating a gift on a pledge card or through payroll deductions.
3. Sponsorship: Joining the "family" of Hospice sponsors is an excellent way for business to give back to the community. Our program support office can provide details about events and programs through either cash or in-kind sponsorships.
