one of Canada&#8217;s 15 Ronald McDonald Houses, according to the RMHC website. Since 1981, the organization has been offering lodging, meals and emotional support to families enduring pediatric hospitalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For RMHC and other Canadian charities, adapting to the economic and societal shifts brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging. Despite the challenges, many continue to adapt to what RMHC CEO Cathy Loblaw calls \u201ca new world order.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe really had to stop, pause, think and figure out how to respond to the community needs, the hospital needs and the family needs simultaneously,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginecanada.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/COVID-19%20Sector%20Monitor%20Report%20ENGLISH_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 survey<\/a> by Imagine Canada measuring the impact of Coronavirus shows that 49 percent of organizations in the charity sector reported difficulty engaging volunteers, and 73 percent reported a drop in donations following the onset of the pandemic. Loblaw describes the arrival of COVID-19 as a time of rapid change and rapid growth at RMHC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Canadian charities continue to adapt to the changing world, so, too, can their supporters. There are several ways you can still contribute to your favorite charity, from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fundraising-and-public-safety\">Fundraising and Public Safety<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Imagine Canada, charities&#8217; events-based fundraising revenue has dropped 72 percent in response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe largest part of our operating budget and funding comes from fundraising events,&#8221; says Loblaw, noting that such RMHC events have been cancelled in the interest of public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While charity golf tournaments and events might be on hold, many other fundraising efforts have gone virtual. From auctions to <a href=\"https:\/\/stayathomegala.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">black tie affairs<\/a>, organizers and participants can stay connected online and contribute to a worthy cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-donating-where-possible\">Donating Where Possible<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteer-driven groups like RMHC may not be able to resume in-person programs anytime soon, but personal donations \u2014 even small contributions \u2014 can make a difference right now. Several charities accept financial gifts directly online, and if you&#8217;re an RBC cardholder you can choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcrewards.com\/#\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">donate your rewards points<\/a> to a group in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-awareness-still-helps\">Creating Awareness Still Helps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Loblaw acknowledges that with many Canadians feeling the financial effects of the pandemic, monetary contributions might not be possible; creating awareness, however, <i>may<\/i> be. Sharing social campaigns, such as RMHC&#8217;s #givingtuesday initiative \u2014 a fundraising effort honoring the 387,000 families the organization has served since its inception \u2014 can be an effective, cost-free way to broaden the reach of your favorite organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-corporate-giving\">Corporate Giving<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether through leveraging marketing channels, encouraging employee donations, sponsoring or participating in a virtual event, or collecting wish-list items for local organizations, giving back <i>together<\/i> may strengthen your team and your community. Loblaw points to RMHC&#8217;s \u201cdeeply embedded partners like RBC Insurance&#8221; as critical sources of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re all adapting to new ways of doing things these days, including our charitable giving. If you are looking to support a charity or foundation that&#8217;s close to your heart, start by going to their website to find out how you can donate, or support through a new digital experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse2de7ba0a\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse2de7ba0a\" data-dig-id=\"LP-HomeInsurance-14506-2de7ba0a\" data-dig-category=\"LP-HomeInsurance\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things Our Lawyers Want You to Know\"><div>Things Our Lawyers Want You to Know<\/div><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse2de7ba0a\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-text-sm-font-size\">*Home and auto insurance products are distributed by RBC Insurance Agency Ltd. and underwritten by Aviva General Insurance Company.
