Ways To Give

There is no denying that 2020 has been a trying year for all of us.

Throughout the past nine months, the David Foster Foundation’s priority has remained the same - ensuring that families continue to be able to stay together and not worry about the financial repercussions of their child’s transplant. Like many this year during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation has seen a sharp increase in the financial support required by transplant families while experiencing a decrease in donations. As we enter the holiday season, there are many ways you can give back or support the David Foster Foundation. You can make a difference, and by giving back, you will help families with children going through the life-saving organ transplant process.

The David Foster Foundation’s goal to create an endowment with the purpose of continuously supporting all Canadian families who have a child going through the life-saving organ transplant process. You can make a single donation or make a financial commitment over multiple years. s Become an Organ Donor

Over the holidays, we encourage you to talk to your family and share your wishes to register as an organ donor. By becoming a registered organ donor, you may save a life someday. There is a chronic shortage of most organs needed for transplant in Canada and the United States.

Organ and tissue donation provide each of us with a special opportunity to help others. Sharing your decision now will help your family to carry out your decision later. It is necessary for you to document your decision by completing your registration in your resident province or state. s Donate Aeroplan Miles

The donation of Aeroplan Miles is a unique way to provide a direct and immediate benefit to the Foundation. Miles are used for accommodation and travel for a family with a child going through the life-saving organ transplant process away from their home.
