Please open your door to a ‘Monthly Donation’
As Quinte Health’s Regional Secondary Hospital, we provide advanced programs benefitting the entire catchment, from Bancroft to Wellington, Brighton to Napanee.
Our incredible healthcare teams rely on the support of the community in the form of regular donations to enable the BGH Foundation to purchase the latest equipment, when its needed.
Why is Door to Door Fundraising Important?
Last year our teams hit the pavement with the goal of inspiring 500 new ‘Give Every Month’ donors, in a campaign spanning three months with the intention of growing sustainable giving. Our friendly team went house to house , building a community of donors, all sharing the same vision – Keeping exceptional care close to home. Such was the success; we are sending teams back out into the field, excited to share the latest updates regarding the hospital and how you can support.
Our Partner, Globalfaces Direct
Belleville General Hospital Foundation partners with Globalfaces Direct, one of North America’s largest face-to-face fundraising services. Our representatives receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of BGHF; about the work we do and our fundraising priorities and programs. As part of the sign up process, fundraisers will call the call centre at 1-866-890-6138 to process donations and on the back of their badge you can find this number 1-647-479-0439 to call and verify the canvasser at your door.
Your monthly gift can be $20, $25, $30 or any amount that you choose. When you become a monthly donor, you become a valued member of our GEM: ‘Give Every Month’ club.
