1. Will my donor information be shared beyond the charity?
We do not sell or share our donor database. The sole purpose of collecting donor information is to issue tax receipts.

The Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund does not solicit for donations. We rely on individuals to make their donations to our charity on their own.
3. When will my name appear in the paper as a donor?
Donor lists are printed during the campaign from late May to early August. Once a full page of donor names has been compiled and space becomes available in the Toronto Star, we then print the donor list of names. This list may appear on any day of the week and in any section of the paper.
4. Does the charity have any major sponsors or receive government funding?
We do not partner with any corporations or organizations nor is government funding provided.
5. Does the charity share fundraising with any other organizations?
The charity itself does not share fundraising with other organizations but may be the recipient of other organization’s fundraising efforts.

Yes you can. We ask that the event be organized with our prior consent and any promotion/publicity be pre-approved by us. To follow our guidelines and help you organize your event successfully, please download the Fresh Air Fund Event/Fundraising Kit.
