What is the lottery and what it raises funds for?

The Federated Health Charities lottery is part of our Federated Health Charities’ annual fundraising campaign. Founded by Ontario public servants in 1983, the Federated Health Charities Campaign brings provincial employees in the Ontario Public Service, the OPP and participating government agencies together to raise funds for 21 health charities serving all Ontarians. Funds raised by the Federated Health Charities lottery goes to health education and awareness, research for better treatments and cures, and providing critical client and patient support in our communities all across the province.

Please note that tickets sales are only open to provincial employees in the Ontario Public Service, the OPP, and participating government agencies.

Unfortunately, lottery ticket sales are not open to members of the general public. If you would like to donate to Federated Health Charities, please visit our donations page.
