Ways to Give

Your gift provides the thoughtful touches that bring warmth, comfort, and dignity to residents' daily lives. Thank you for helping transform quality care into exceptional senior living.

Making a difference to seniors in our care is easy and affordable with many giving options and payment methods that you can chose from. Every donation over $10 is eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Cumulative donations of $1,000 or more will be acknowledged on our new, custom designed donor recognition wall that will be displayed in the New Mauno Kaihla Koti Long-term Care Home upon completion.

 

We value all of our supporters and are committed to working with each and every one of you to ensure your donation directly benefits the needs of our residents. Together we can continue to give our residents “Homes with a Heart”.

  • Donor Bill of Rights

    Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the Ontario Finnish Resthome Association and Foundation, we declare that all donors have these rights:


     • To be informed of the OFRA’s mission, of the way the OFRA intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.


     • To be informed of the identity of those serving on the OFRA’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.


     • To have access to the OFRA’s most recent financial statements.


     • To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given. 


     • To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition. 


     • To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law. 


     • To expect that all relationships with individuals representing the OFRA of interest to the donor will be professional in nature. 


     • To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the OFRA or hired solicitors.


     • To have the opportunity for donors names to be deleted from mailing lists that the OFRA may intend to share. 


     • To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful, and forthright answers.

A BIG Thanks to Our Donors

As there is limited or no government/agency support for items and upgrades that go beyond basic care and that enhance resident experience, comfort, and well-being... community support and donations are vital to the success of our mission and all the more reason why we are so thankful of individuals, families, businesses, organizations and groups for their financial support. Thank you for being part of the OFRA Family.
