Make a difference, make a donation.

The Canadian Adult Congenital Heart Network (CACH Network), Toronto Congenital Cardiac Centre for Adults (TCCCA) and the Adult Congenital Heart Council are a group of lay and health care professionals volunteers determined to promote the interests of Canadians born with heart defects. We need your help to accomplish our objectives.

Thousands of Canadians are now alive and well thanks to dramatic advances in the care of heart defects. Donations are needed to ensure that people with heart defects continue to enjoy a complete life, and to make sure that our children and adolescents will be even healthier as they grow to adult life.

Every Gift Counts, Every Gift is Appreciated!

The TCCCA already has a strong foundation on which to build for the future: internationally recognized and innovative health care professionals; however, this world-class program can no longer be sustained without proper financial support.

With your help, we will be able to attract the very best healthcare professionals; develop a leading research program; facilitate information and communication initiatives; enhance public awareness and outreach activities; and enable education opportunities for our staff - all of which, will firmly anchor the TCCCA as a center of excellence for congenital heart disease in Canada and around the world.

There are many ways to make a gift to the Toronto Congenital Cardiac Centre for Adults, including:
  • Outright Gifts and Pledges can be made by cash, cheque, credit card, or pre-authorized chequing. Your contribution may also be made in semi-annual or quarterly installments.
  • Gifts of Securities such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and stock options.
  • Gifts of Appreciated Property, sometimes called gifts-in-kind, can include real estate, art, and equipment among many other forms.
  • A Bequest in Your Will, Gifts of Life Insurance, Charitable Annuities and Charitable Remainder Trusts are just a few of the other ways in which you can make a gift to the Foundation and enjoy considerable tax savings.
All donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. For some types of gifts there is added tax benefits beyond a charitable tax credit. For example, taxable capital gains are reduced by half when you donate securities. The taxable capital gain if you sold the shares is 50%, but only 25% if you donate them to charity. Now your charitable tax receipt can be applied to 75 % of your net annual income plus 25 % of your capital gain.



VOLUNTEER WORK

Spending your time helping others can be very rewarding. We need you!

We're looking for people to help with advocacy to provincial governments and hospitals to improve the services available to adult patients with congenital heart defects across Canada.

We're looking for people to join our mentorship program - patients supporting patients - friendship, and encourage patients who would welcome a friendly voice, and perhaps speak with someone who has gone through a similar challenge around the time of surgery or special procedures.

We need people to assist us with the "The Beat", our newsletter.

Becoming involved in the educational evenings for patients and families would also be greatly appreciated.

We're looking for people to help organize and work on our fundraising program, to offer names of potential donors, and celebrities that may be willing to participate in a fundraising event. If you feel you can help in any other way we gladly encourage your participation.
