Mariposa House Hospice is a registered charity giving services to our residents and their families at no cost. Our clinical services are partially funded by the Ministry of Health, which covers approximately 40% of our annual operating expenses. Through our fundraising efforts and generous donations from individuals, businesses and organizations, we raise more than $800,000 per year to sustain our operations. Your support and involvement is greatly appreciated!

JOIN OUR BUTTERFLY CLUB
Our annual operating budget is partially covered by government funding (about 40%) and we rely on contributions from our community for the rest. By becoming a monthly donor, you can “join the club” and help to ensure our sustainability!

MAKE A DONATION IN MEMORY OF SOMEONE SPECIAL
When someone important has died, you may wish to make an in-memoriam donation to recognize and honour them. This can be done through our online donation page.
STOCK TRANSFERS
A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is one of the most efficient ways to give charitably. With a donation of securities or mutual funds, capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more and avoid paying capital gains taxes. Learn more https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/charities/operating-a-registered-charity/receiving-gifts/donation-shares.html. If you wish to donate publicly traded shares to Mariposa House Hospice, please complete the following document, and return to your personal broker who should process the request and forward it on to John Mayo at BMO Nesbitt Burns Orillia.
SPONSOR AN ITEM ON OUR WISH LIST WEDNESDAY
On the first Wednesday of every month we update the list of household items that we are running low on. If you are able to help out by purchasing a few of these items next time you’re at the grocery store or pharmacy, we would be very grateful! Please see our Instagram or Facebook page for our “Wish List”.
