About Us

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation exists to inspire, enable and recognize community support for improvements in patient care and equipment at The Ottawa Hospital and groundbreaking research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

The Ottawa Hospital is the largest acute care hospital in Canada. As such, it is a critical community asset that touches the lives of people in every neighbourhood and in every corner of our region. With your support, we can help ensure the Hospital is ready for you and your loved ones when it is needed most.

Making your donation count – our Foundation receives an A+

In July 2011, MoneySense, a personal finance magazine, published its second annual national review of Canada’s top 100 charities.

With 82.5% of our annual spending going directly to programs at The Ottawa Hospital and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation ranked as the most efficient hospital foundation in Ontario and third in the country. We earned an A+ ranking in overall charity efficiency as well as in the category of governance and transparency.

Source: The results from MoneySense compare Canadian charities in terms of funds raised and other measures and are based on the Canada Revenue Agency 2007-2009 T3010 charity information filings and other documents.
