Ethical Fundraising

 We believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. In August 2007, Milton District Hospital Foundation was first awarded the Imagine Canada’s Ethical Fundraising License. Recently we have renewed our membership in Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program.The Ethical Fundraising License logo appears on all our print and electronic materials as a sign to donors and the public at large that Milton District Hospital Foundation meets the highest standards for accountability and openness in our fundraising practices and policies.

Imagine Canada, formerly the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy, developed the Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability Code, which lays out a set of standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly. By adhering to these standards, we are complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars. This is important because you, our supporters, are entitled to transparency and the greatest impact possible for your investment in us.

If you would like more information on the Ethical Code or the Foundation’s policies, please contact Helen Vatistas, Executive Director 905-876-7018.
