Frequently asked questions
How do I create a tribute page?
You can create a custom tribute page at fundraise.camh.ca by selecting In Memory or In Honour, completing registration and setting up your page. It only takes a few minutes to get started.
What is the difference between an In Memory and an In Honour page?
An In Memory page is created to honour someone who has passed away. An In Honour page celebrates a person or moment worth recognizing—whether that's someone in your life marking a milestone, a recovery, a graduation or any meaningful moment, or a milestone or achievement in your own life.
Is this a fundraising page or a donation page?
A tribute page is a fundraising page that allows you to honour a meaningful person, milestone or memory while inviting family and friends to give to CAMH in someone's name or honour. Unlike a direct donation page, your tribute page creates a shared space where others can give in support of what matters to you.
Is there a cost to create a tribute page?
No. Creating a tribute page is free.
Can anyone give through my tribute page?
Yes. Once your page is live, you can share it with family, friends and your community. Anyone can visit your page and make a gift in the person's name or honour.
How do I share my tribute page?
Once your page is set up, you can share it by email, text or social media. Your page includes a shareable link you can send to anyone you want to invite to give.
Can I add photos and messages to my page?
Yes. You can personalize your page with photos, a description and updates. Family and friends can also leave messages and memories directly on the page.
Does CAMH Foundation accept cash donations?
CAMH Foundation does not accept cash donations, and we advise that you do not mail cash to our office.
