Donations and Fundraising
Dundas County Hospice is a non-profit organization that is partially supported by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. We report to and are held accountable to the Champlain LHIN and the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The remaining 45% of our required funds is generated by donations and our own fundraising efforts.

We are truly blessed to live in such a caring and generous community. We receive financial support from area churches, service groups, (such as local Lions Club and branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, I.O.O.F.), individuals and businesses. ALL donations are appreciated.

Please consider taking part in these events, either as a participant and collect pledges from your friends or family or making a pledge for a participant. Every other year, in the fall, we hold a big community event with a dinner, dancing and both a live and silent auction. Consider attending and bidding or donating item(s) for the auctions. Sponsorship levels are available for business or individual donors for consideration on our website or in the Newsletter.
