Payroll Giving
Payroll giving to the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation is a convenient way to give smaller, frequent gifts, which add up to have substantial and positive impact on health care in your community.
Similar to contributing to a retirement account, payroll giving allows your employer to deduct an amount of your choosing from your salary each pay period. After a one-time set-up with your Human Resources/Payroll department or representative, you’ll be on your way to supporting your friends, family and neighbours who need it most. And your tax-deductible gifts will be shown on your T4 at the end of the year – no need to track down receipts.

Your Impact
Each year, there are more than 600,000 patient-visits made to the Cape Breton Regional Hospital (CBRH). As the main referral and trauma centre for our Island, the CBRH offers emergency services, ambulatory care, palliative care, pediatrics, general and specialized medical and surgical care, diagnostic imaging, cardio/pulmonary/neuro services, clinical support services, mental health and addiction services, and more.
Our Foundation features more than 80 unique funds to support health care needs throughout every floor of the CBRH and beyond. As a payroll deduction donor, you choose the area of care to which your gift goes. Whether that be to support the purchase of a vital piece of equipment; to directly support patients’ additional health care needs such as travel, purchasing personal equipment, or medications; or funding research, innovation, and professional development for health care staff.

Payroll giving is a popular option offered to many employees throughout organizations across the world, helping to unite organizations and allow employees to feel a part of their community.
As an employer, offering payroll giving programs to your organization can help you live, breathe, and communicate your organization’s values to both employees and the public at large. Payroll giving programs also remove barriers and provide access to ongoing charitable giving for employees who may not have credit cards or the means to give larger gifts. Additionally, payroll giving programs significantly reduce ongoing administrative and merchant fees, meaning your employees’ gifts will have a larger impact on priority health care needs in Cape Breton.
Our team is here to support you in creating a payroll giving program that makes sense for your organization and its employees. Whether you plan on providing a matching incentive, onboarding packages, or general payroll deductions, we will help customize your program to suit your needs and goals.
