The answers you need, in one place.
General
As hospitals age and communities evolve, the need for donations becomes increasingly vital. Over time, hospital facilities become outdated, and the patient population surpasses capacity. Trillium Health Partners, catering to over 2.2 million residents in the West GTA and Mississauga, anticipates this number to grow to 3.2 million by 2041. Despite continuing to meet the needs of our community, including helping to deliver over 8,000 babies annually, more than any other hospital in Canada, the original infrastructure from the 1950s struggles to meet the demands of this expanding and diverse community.
While the Government of Ontario acknowledges the necessity for a larger facility and will contribute to the funding of Canada's largest hospital, the future home of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, in order to unlock government funding the remaining approximately 10% financial burden to help build this new hospital is placed on Trillium Health Partners, in line with similar hospital projects in Ontario.
The primary source of funding for this lies within Trillium Health Partners' fundraising engine - its foundation. Collaborating with the community, the foundation inspires philanthropy from individual and corporate donors to bridge the funding gap. Without this crucial support, the realization of a new, advanced facility remains unattainable.
Furthermore, nearly all hospital equipment is funded through donations. The foundation collaborates with the hospital to identify pressing equipment needs and galvanizes community philanthropy to address them. These essential tools not only facilitate routine check-ups but also enable timely diagnoses, preventive care, and ultimately, save lives.

Built for Us
Built for Us is Trillium Health Partners Foundation's $1 billion fundraising campaign to help shape the future of health care for our community. The campaign will support transformational investments in new and redeveloped health care spaces, technology and innovation to help deliver faster access to care and more specialized services closer to home.
Because this transformation is being built around people. Built for Us reflects Trillium Health Partners' commitment to putting patients, families, Team THP and the community at the centre of how we design and deliver care, now and for generations to come.
Our community is growing rapidly, and demand for health care continues to rise. Over the coming years, Trillium Health Partners will serve more people with increasingly complex health needs. Built for Us is an opportunity for the community to help create the capacity, services and models of care needed for the future.
The campaign will help support three transformational projects: The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, including the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, and the redevelopment of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre. Together, these investments will expand access to care, create more space for care and enable new ways of delivering care.
Government investment is making these historic redevelopment projects possible. Philanthropy works alongside that investment to help bring the full vision for the future of care to life, including investments that can enhance patient care, technology, equipment, research and innovation.
Monthly Giving
Your donation will be deducted on the 1st or 15th of each month, unless you have enrolled online. Online donations are deducted the same day every month based on the day you enrolled.
To change your monthly gift amount or payment information, please contact Trillium Health Partners Foundation at (437) 876-4478 or by email at [email protected]. Please note we require 5-10 business days to process this request.
You may change your Monthly Gift whenever you like.
Monthly Supporters are a vital part of the Trillium Health Partners community and ensure access to exceptional care is always there. If you would like to change your Monthly Gift you may call (437) 876-4478 or email [email protected]. Include all relevant information in your request (full name, mailing address and phone number) so we can identify your record in our database. Please note we require 5-10 business days to process these requests.
Planned Giving
A planned gift is a gift in any amount made through your Will for the future benefit of our hospital and community.
If you wish to add Trillium Health Partners Foundation to your existing Will, then simply speak with your lawyer about adding a codicil, or supplement, to your Will.
We understand that family always comes first. That’s why we ask that you speak with your family, lawyer, and financial advisor about your plans. Often, making a willed gift leaves more of an estate for families because it reduces taxes and probate fees.
It’s never too soon to start. Our hospital is planning today to ensure we can deliver more innovative care decades from now. Increasingly, young people are using life insurance policies or RRSPs as the basis for their planned gifts. Let’s plan for our future together.
We understand that plans change. If you would like to add to your gift, designate a medical area, revise your recognition plan, or make other changes, please contact Tharani Rajan, [email protected]
There is no set amount for our supporters’ generosity. Planned gifts come in various sizes and various methods of giving, like life insurance policies and gifts of securities. All of our supporters are deeply valued. Every estate gift— regardless of size—allows our hospital to address its most urgent priorities today, while planning for our future needs so that we continue to provide exceptional patient experiences close to home for generations to come.
Your planned gift can be in honour of staff at Trillium Health Partners or anyone else that is important to you and depending on the donation amount, your gift may qualify for a recognition plaque.
All gifts to our hospital can be made completely anonymously. For those who do not want to be recognized, we are committed to respecting your privacy and will ensure we keep your gift confidential.
Making your hospital one of your Will’s beneficiaries doesn’t change your lifestyle or retirement plans. When you designate Trillium Health Partners as a beneficiary, it simply means that our hospital will receive a portion of your estate (known as a residual beneficiary).

By purchasing a gift in the catalogue, you are providing essential support for your Hospital and honouring special individuals in your life.

Wedding Program
The Trillium Health Partners Foundation Wedding Program provides couples with two unique ways to give back in celebration of their special day:
- Donations in Lieu of Wedding Favours. Many couples give wedding favours to their guests as a token of their appreciation for celebrating with them. Often these are small, novelty items like custom cookies, chocolates, candles, branded coffee or tea – the list goes on. In lieu of favours for wedding guests, couples who participate in the Trillium Health Partners Foundation Wedding Program can instead donate to Trillium Health Partners in their guests’ honour.
- Donations in Lieu of Wedding Gifts. In lieu of wedding guests bringing gifts in the form of cash or material goods for the couple, that money is instead donated to Trillium Health Partners to support the hospital’s highest priority needs.
To inform your guests of your meaningful gift to Trillium Health Partners in lieu of favours, you can select up to two recognition pieces that will be customized for your wedding. Printed on smooth white card stock, each customized recognition piece features our logo, informing guests that you’ve made a meaningful impact in the lives of patients and their families who benefits from exceptional health care at Trillium Health Partners every day.
For this option, you will be required to fill out a Wedding Package Form linked here. Once complete, you will hear from a member of our Foundation team to confirm details.
Please note: a minimum donation $150 is required to participate.
For couples who are looking to accept donations in lieu of wedding gifts, we offer a program that makes collecting donations easy. Create a personalized fundraising page in celebration of your big day and personalize it with a photo and a description about why you decided to support Trillium Health Partners. Once your page is set-up, email the link to family and friends to request a donation in lieu of wedding gifts, and track your fundraising progress along the way. Be sure to let your guests know that they will receive a tax receipt for their gift. Guests can also make a donation by phone or mail. Already created a fundraising page? Log in.
