Questions about donating
Will I receive a tax receipt?
Yes — for eligible gifts. The Heather Cutler Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (743014227 RR 0001), and your official donation receipt is emailed to you by Zeffy, our donation platform, after your gift. If you don't see it, check your junk or spam folder, or contact us.
Is my donation one-time or recurring?
You choose on the donation form. A one-time gift is charged once. A monthly gift repeats at the same amount each month until you change or cancel it — email support@heathercutler.ca any time and we will help you adjust or stop a monthly gift.
Can I give in memory or in honour of someone?
Yes. If you would like your gift dedicated in memory or in honour of someone, email support@heathercutler.ca with their name and we will note the dedication with your gift.
How will my donation be used?
General donations support the foundation's work across information, research and advocacy. Gifts made through the Port to Care form are held for that program and disbursed as eligible patients apply. See our impact and financial reporting.
Who can help with a donation problem?
