Mission Statement 

The Brockville and District Hospital Foundation supports the Brockville General Hospital’s commitment to provide compassionate patient care and excellence in the provision of their programs and services

Gifts and Donations Acceptance Policy

Cash Gifts of money, cheques and VISA/MasterCard will be accepted for restricted and unrestricted purposes. Unrestricted gifts will be applied to the Foundation and restricted donations will be accepted for the designated purpose in keeping with the BGH’s policies and the donor’s intent. 

Gifts of Negotiable Securities for which there is a readily available market will be accepted under the same policy as cash gifts. A letter of agreement from the donor will state that the securities will be converted to cash at the earliest possible date through a broker approved by the Foundation.

Securities for which there is no readily available secondary market, such as stocks in a private company or closely held securities may be accepted with the prior approval of the Foundation.

Gifts of Real Estate will be accepted only on prior approval of the Foundation. A full appraisal of the property will be done by and at the expense of the donor. Such gifts will be placed on the market as soon as feasible.

In-Kind Donations, Gifts of Personal Property and services may be accepted providing they reflect the needs and mission of the BGH. Gifts of services are generally not tax deductible. Gifts of personal property will be accepted only if the Foundation feels that a reasonable market exists for such items. Donors should be aware that an appraisal is required for the issuance of a tax receipt and must be done at arms’ length from the donor and the BGH. Any costs associated with the appraisal, the conveyance, and the delivery of the gift are to be borne by the donor. The appraised value must be approved by the Foundation. The amount of the receipt is based on the fair market value of the property on the date of the gift. A percentage of the value (less than 20%) may be used to market the gift.

Bequests will be accepted and applied to the designated purpose, as agreed upon by the donor and the BGH. Bequests are recognized when they are received, not at the time they are described in the will of a prospective donor. Undesignated gifts will be applied to the Foundation.
