Welcome to the Federated Health Charities Campaign

Federated Health Charities is a workplace charitable campaign that allows members of the Ontario Public Service (OPS) across Ontario to support up to 16 health charities through payroll deductions, donations and special events. Since it was established in 1983, you have donated over $32-million to help fund the search for treatments and cures, and to improve the quality of life for people struggling with life-changing illness.

In this site, you'll find information about the campaign and each of the 16 vital charities it supports. Please, come in and look around!

A message from the Honourary Campaign Chair
Chisanga Puta-Chekwe

The Federated Health Charities Campaign slogan this year is, "Please, give till it doesn't hurt."

That's because Fed Health raises money to fight 16 diseases that do hurt. These diseases bring enormous physical and emotional pain, both to the people who struggle with them, and to the rest of us who bear witness to that struggle.

This year, the Federated Health Charities Campaign celebrates 28 years as your Charity at Work.

You will notice some changes; our donor forms are being distributed in this much smaller, four-page brochure (down from 20 pages), reducing both production cost and our environmental impact. And our website has been completely re-designed, to give you easier access to information about the campaign and our 16 member charities.

Since 1983, members of the Ontario Public Service have raised over $32-million for 16 of Ontarioi's major health charities through these OPS campaigns — a record $2.25-million last year alone, making the 28th anniversary campaign the most successful in our history.

That is a truly remarkable accomplishment for a charity created by and for the OPS, and something of which we can be extremely proud. Congratulations, and thank you for your outstanding support.

I urge you to continue our record of extraordinary generosity by donating to these 16 vital health charities through this year's campaign.

Please, join me in giving till it doesn't hurt.
