Fundraise

To conduct a fundraising event, please contact Colette Halferty, Director of Development and Communications at chalferty@moorelands.ca or by phone 416-466-9987 Ext. 307, at least 15 days prior to your event.

To help get you started, we’ve created a set of Fundraising Guidelines. Additionally, Moorelands Kids is happy to support your event by: 

• Offering tools, resources and information about our programs, so that you can inform others about this important work.
• Creating a fully personalized fundraising web page and donation form, hosted on moorelands.ca, to easily share with your network.
• Sending a support letter to validate the authenticity of your event.
• Providing social media support, when appropriate, to promote your fundraiser. 
• If applicable, we can provide an “In Support of Moorelands Kids” logo for your use.
• Moorelands Kids can issue tax receipts according to Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, if applicable. View our Fundraising Guidelines to learn more.

If you would like promotional support for your event, Moorelands Kids is happy to include details in our online communications (emails, social media, etc.) We can also post your fundraiser on our Events web page. 

Any additional promotion is the responsibility of the event organizers. All publicity for the proposed event must be approved by Moorelands Kids prior to being printed and/or released, including web content, press releases and printed materials. Please forward all content for approval at least 10 days in advance of release to Colette Halferty at chalferty@moorelands.ca.

For questions about how our communications team can support your fundraiser, send us an email or call us at 416-466-9987 ext. 307.

Moorelands Kids can host a web page for your event on our website, www.moorelands.ca. This page can be used to gather donations from your fundraiser. If you are interested, please contact Colette Halferty at chalferty@moorelands.ca.

Involvement of Moorelands Kids staff and volunteers will be at our discretion and will be based on availability, location and the nature of the event.

Moorelands Kids will not be responsible for any damage or accidents to any persons or property; we will not assume any legal or financial liability caused before, during or after the event. 

Depending upon the nature of the third party event, the organizer may be required by Moorelands Kids to submit proof of general liability insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 or such other amount which covers any damage or accidents to persons or property arising out of the third-party event. In acquiring insurance for an event, it is the responsibility of the organizer to apply and obtain such documents in the name of the individual, organization or business coordinating the event. 

Moorelands Kids will not sign any contracts with vendors or suppliers. It is advisable that you seek guidance and direction from your own insurance broker on this matter.

Funds raised by an event should be submitted to Moorelands Kids no later than 14 days after the event. It is preferred that all funds raised are deposited into one account and a cumulative cheque is written to Moorelands Kids. Please make cheques payable to:

Moorelands Kids
251 Consumers Rd, Suite 601, Toronto, Ontario M2J 4R3
Attn: Colette Halferty, Director of Development and Communications

If Moorelands Kids provided the event with a raffle license, the license and paperwork will need to be returned to the agency immediately following the event. Funds raised by the raffle can be included in the cumulative cheque, but the agency will need to know the specific amount raised by the raffle to ensure proper reporting to the Ontario Gaming and Liquor Commission. Cash funds must be turned in to the agency no later than 3 days after the event. Cash must be in a sealed envelope, counted, with a count sheet detailing the funds included.

Yes, once we have received the inquiry request, we will be in touch about supporting you with resources including our logo.

Moorelands Kids can provide print materials about our programs and services. We may also be able to provide banners, subject to availability. Please send all requests for Moorelands Kids materials at least 10 days prior to your event by email to Colette Halferty at chalferty@moorelands.ca.
