Donation FAQ

Our registered charitable organization number is 13942 3875 RR0001.

Our charity is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, who are responsible for the fiduciary oversight of the charity. We also have a volunteer Advisory Council that is charged with setting and evaluating our gifting parameters to ensure we are meeting a need, filling a gap and are accessible for families who need supports. Both bodies evaluate efficiencies on a yearly basis. We also consult with our healthcare providers with whom we collaborate to get feedback and input. Finally, our financial records are independently audited each year by McGovern, Hurley, LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants. We work hard to keep our administrative costs low, have a small staff, and are grateful for our many dedicated volunteers.

Your donation will be used to provide timely financial relief to families caring for children in medical crisis across the province. You will be helping to cover some of the additional, out-of-pocket expenses that come with having a child in hospital and undergoing intensive treatment for extended periods of time. These costs include expenses such as transportation to and from the hospital, accommodation if the family is from out of town, meal support while on the road, sibling and respite care, as well as rehabilitative therapies, medical supplies and equipment that can aid in recovery.

When you make a donation online, a tax receipt will be emailed to you immediately. If you did not receive your receipt after making your donation, please check your email “junk” folder.

If you choose to mail your donation to us, we will issue a tax receipt to you within a week of receiving your donation. Our default is to email your tax receipt to you, but we would be happy to mail you a copy, if requested.

If you have not received a tax receipt within these allotted timeframes or you would like a duplicate receipt, please contact 905-852-1799 ext 32 or admin@jenash.org.
