Please have the donor’s complete mailing address and email address so that they get the tax receipt directly. Your online funds raised total will go up immediately to meet your goal set for the event.
Please note: The receipt will be made out to the credit card holder. If you wish the receipt to be made out to a different person please do not make the donation online. You can call our Finance team who can take the donation over the phone or fill out the offline pledge sheet and bring cash or cheque to registration.
You can personally write one cheque to cover all cash collected - just make sure that each individual donation is shown on your offline pledge form and that mailing and email addresses are included for all donors. Your online funds raised total will go up to meet your goal set for the event once the donations are added into the secure system by CHEO Foundation staff. Mail the offline pledge form with your cheque to the mailing addresses below.
How to accept donations by cheque
You can send cheques along with an offline pledge form containing donor information to the CHEO Foundation and they will be added to your fundraising total by the CHEO Foundation staff through our secure system. The donors whose names are on the cheque will get receipts within a week of the CHEO Foundation receiving their information if funds are received prior to the event. Please be sure to remind your donors that while some personal cheques do not include a mailing address, this information is necessary in order for them to receive a tax receipt.
Mail the offline pledge form with cheques to the mailing address below.
