Legacy Endowment Fund

What is it?

A Legacy Endowment Fund (LEF) is a permanent pool of capital that earns interest or income each year. This income is then directed to the area of the Hospital you choose to support.

Why create an LEF?

• As a permanent remembrance for a loved one or to honour a family member.
• To support a cause you truly believe in.
• To contribute to advancements in research and patient care.
• To ensure the best health care for generations to come.

No matter the reason, there is a common thread running through all LEF donations - a desire to make a personal commitment that will live on forever.

What are the benefits?

• A matching contribution from the Foundation, up to $5,000. In other words, a $5,000 donation turns into a $10,000 Fund (limited time offer).
• A personalized financial statement and report about the area of the Hospital you choose to support.
• Invitations to receptions, events and special tours.
• Listing in the President's Council Registry (our list of leadership donors).
