Face to Face Program
Since 2010, Sunnybrook Foundation has been conducting face-to-face campaigns in communities across southern Ontario to gain new monthly supporters.
Recurring monthly donations are a powerful way to make your support go further and save more lives by providing a steady and predictable source of income to Sunnybrook. Monthly support allows Sunnybrook to provide life-saving care at the most critical times.
As a monthly donor your benefits include:
- Receive one annual tax receipt to make things convenient at income tax time.
- A complimentary subscription to Sunnybrook Magazine, issued twice a year.
- Special communications, from time to time, with news about Sunnybrook and the impact of your monthly donations.
When you choose to become a Sunnybrook monthly donor you join an important group of individuals who have made the commitment to change outcomes and heal the future.
Door-to-Door Canvassing Program
Sunnybrook Foundation partners with Canadian leaders in door to door fundraising, to help us reach out to communities all across Southern Ontario who would like to support life-saving research and patient care.
Our canvassers are compensated through an hourly wage with no commission. They receive training, which allows them to speak on behalf of Sunnybrook about our mission and fundraising program.
Numerous changes have been made to the program to ensure the safety of members of the community and fundraising staff through the practice of safe social distancing. All fundraisers will maintain a two-metre minimum distance during interactions and will be equipped with personal protective equipment including masks. Fundraising staff will not make any physical contact, including device sharing, with members of the community and will sanitize all materials after each interaction. During the process, you may receive a phone call from 1-833-675-1484 to complete your donation.

Our Canvassers
For security and recognition purposes, all Sunnybrook Foundation fundraisers wear identification badges, name tags, and carry brochures with details about our life-saving programs and facilities. They are also equipped with tablets in order to track and process your donation, and their locations, electronically.
