Support the PRHC Foundation with a festive touch

It’s that time of year again: D. McCulloch Events’ holiday pots are back!

Diana McCulloch, who also works in the PRHC lab, has launched her annual festive fundraiser in support of world-class care at the Health Centre.

This holiday, Diana will design and handcraft a seasonal arrangement in the colour palette of your choice: red, neutral, white, gold, or silver. Each arrangement is built in a 10-inch black pot, perfect for placing inside your own urn or displaying on its own.

The cost is $55 per arrangement, with a $5 donation from every pot sold going to the PRHC Foundation.

To place an order or learn more, please contact Diana by phone at 705-868-2770 or by email. 

Thank you, Diana and everyone who purchases a holiday pot, for spreading cheer while supporting exceptional care at your regional hospital.

Big impact with minimal effort: Gifts of securities

Imagine if you could support your regional hospital through your savvy financial decision-making. That’s the beauty of donating stock—it’s a smart financial move that maximizes your impact while giving you additional tax benefits!

What are gifts of securities?

Gifts of securities are donations of publicly traded appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other investment assets. Instead of making a cash donation, individuals transfer ownership of these securities directly to the PRHC Foundation.

What are the benefits of gifts of securities?

By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to the PRHC Foundation, you’ll receive a larger tax credit and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of your shares—meaning you may be able to make a larger gift than you could have with a cash donation alone. If you’ve held stocks for some time and the value has appreciated, this form of giving is likely for you!

Plus, when you donate appreciated stocks, you don’t have to pay the capital gains tax that you would have incurred if you sold the asset instead. This means more of your donation goes towards making a difference in the quality of healthcare available at your hospital. You’ll receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the securities, which can be used to further reduce your annual income when filing your taxes.
