Ways to Give

The WDMH Foundation provides a variety of ways to support local care close to home. Whether it's a memorial gift, a monthly contribution or a special way to honour someone who has cared for you, thank you for your generosity.

Why Give?

Simply put, you will be making a difference in the lives of your family, your friends, your neighbours, and even strangers.

When you walk into the bright and clean entrance at WDMH – you will be greeted with a smile. You will immediately feel that you are in capable hands. Whether you’re in need of emergency care, giving birth to a new family member, or visiting a loved one, you’ll be treated with compassion and respect. There is a culture of family and community at WDMH that just doesn’t exist in every clinical setting. This is because WDMH is enveloped by so many caring people – staff, physicians, donors, volunteers, and, of course, the greater community.

Your visit here turns you into a member of our team. WDMH is here to care for our patients with compassion – close to home and with our partners. We pursue excellence in all that we do. We are one team that values respect, accountability, innovation, and learning.

WDMH is led by a progressive-thinking team of professionals who are dedicated to meeting the current and future needs of our patients. But we cannot do this alone – you and your investment will help to meet the ongoing and future needs of patients at WDMH.

Tribute Gifts

Tribute gifts are a wonderful way to celebrate someone who has touched your life or to commemorate an event or special occasion.

If you would like to make a donation that celebrates a special occasion or milestone, such as a birthday, wedding or anniversary, we can send a card to your chosen honoree to let them know that you have supported WDMH or Dundas Manor in their honour.

Donate online or download our donation form.

Memorial Gifts

Gifts to charity in memory of a loved one have become a meaningful way to pay your respects. At WDMH and Dundas Manor, in memoriam gifts contribute significantly to the purchase of general equipment.

We appreciate each family and patient who requests that donations be made in their memory. In honour of this, WDMH has an In Memoriam Book on display on the second level of the hospital, just outside the Reflection Room.

If you wish, when making an in memoriam gift (either in person, online, or via phone, fax, or mail), the staff at the Foundation will send an acknowledgment letter on your behalf. Simply follow the online instructions or those on the donation form.

Monthly Giving

Lynne’s Club is the WDMH Foundation’s monthly giving program. It allows you to make your donation in monthly installments instead of, or in addition to, an annual gift.

The Club is named after Lynne Wilson, a passionate and innovative Managing Director of the Foundation, as a tribute to mark our appreciation for her service and vision. Lynne was with the Foundation from 2003 until June 2006, when she passed away from cancer. Her dedication to WDMH helped bring the dream of a new hospital to life, cementing local quality care for future generations.

As a valued monthly donor, you will receive very special benefits (if you choose) that you wouldn’t be eligible for as an annual contributor. You’ll also have more convenience, control, and impact with your monthly gift. To learn more, download the Lynne's Club brochure or donate online.

About Lynne

Lynne WilsonIn June 2006, the WDMH family lost its Managing Director, Lynne Wilson, to cancer. In 2011, on the fifth anniversary of Lynne’s passing, the WDMH Foundation wanted to do something special to mark its appreciation for Lynne’s service by creating this unique monthly giving club in her honour.

Lynne cared deeply for her hospital. Her passion and dedication to WDMH helped to bring the dream of a new hospital to life.

Lynne’s husband Laurie and the staff at the WDMH Foundation have partnered to get others to pick-up where Lynne left off. She would have been proud that WDMH is forging a new path.
