What is Niagara Health Foundation?

At the Niagara Health Foundation, we raise and steward funds to support high-quality patient care, education and research at Niagara Health. We fundraise exclusively for Niagara Health and bring people across the region together for a single purpose – to help our local hospitals and their healthcare teams deliver the best possible healthcare, right here in Niagara. It is our vision that we become the charity of choice that inspires our communities to invest in extraordinary healthcare for the people of Niagara. The philanthropic gifts raised from individuals, groups and corporations go directly towards: Purchasing essential medical equipment and cutting-edge technology for all Niagara Health sites Funding capital development projects, including the construction of new hospitals and upgrading facilities Supporting special patient care programs and scholarships and bursaries for students and staff studying medical sciences Niagara Health serves over 450,000 Niagara residents and each hospital site (St. Catharines, Welland, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie & Port Colborne) has specific equipment and program needs in a given year. The Foundation works with Niagara Health leadership to prioritize funding needs each year and then works to fundraise for those priority needs.
