Donate
A gift to the Foundation buys medical equipment for Lake of the Woods District Hospital. Donations are processed by external providers; card details are never handled or stored by this website.
A raffle ticket is not a donation
Tax receipts cannot be issued for ticket purchases. Under Canadian tax rules the purchase of a lottery ticket is not a gift, because you receive a chance to win in return.
Donations made through the channels on this page are eligible for a Canada Revenue Agency tax receipt.
