Letter from Jennifer Van Noort, Vice-President, Philanthropy, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation
May 13, 2020
Good evening Ken. It was so lovely to chat with you today! I want to commend you for the incredible work that the Indo Canadian community is doing to support so many worthy and important COVID-19 related causes in our city. We are deeply grateful to you.
I have visited your website and it is excellent. Please feel free to add this text on your website if you wish to share with your supporters that:
ALL FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF THE COVID-19 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND AT THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!!!
Also, I want to share with you some of the LIFE SAVING work that your support is making possible. We continue to support our front line staff who are absolute Heroes! You are Heroes for supporting our Heroes! We are attacking COVID-19 from every angle and I am pleased to share some important updates with you below.
Would a sincere letter of thanks from our senior staff, a patient or our Foundation CEO be helpful for you so that you could perhaps also put this on your website to thank your current supporters and inspire additional critical support? I could provide this imminently.
Please note that if you wish to do a “socially responsible” cheque hand off, we could take a picture of you dropping off your thoughtful donation and we would love to put this on our website as a start to celebrate all you are making possible for patients and staff in Ottawa. We would of course stand 2 meters apart but we could take this picture outside The Ottawa Hospital if you wish. We would be honoured to celebrate you in many ways of course.
THIS IS HOW YOUR SUPPORT IS DIRECTLY HELPING THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL COMBAT COVID-19:
Below is a link to our important COVID-19 Fund with important details. Funds will immediately help purchase critically needed equipment. And it will help fund critical COVID-19 research.

I hope this is helpful Ken. If you need any other information, please let me know. We cannot thank you enough.
Please stay safe.
