Caring for Others Endowment

Just as with our own personal savings and retirement plans, the Foundation must plan today for the needs of tomorrow. The Caring for Others Endowment allows us to do that. The Fund supports the purchase of the most urgently-needed medical equipment for the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, and saves for priority needs identified years from now that we can’t even imagine today.

How does the Caring for Others Endowment work?

The Caring for Others Endowment Fund acts like a registered savings plan for The Health Foundation. It ensures long-term financial stability, while providing ongoing support for our hospitals.

A donation to the Fund is a gift that is not spent. Instead, it is prudently invested to generate earnings. Each year, a portion of the earnings is used to support identified priority areas in our regional hospital, while the rest of the income is reinvested to build the Fund. In this way, the contribution continues to have an impact long after the initial gift is made, and you can be assured that your donation will always be put to the very best, and most needed, use. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

For a minimum donation of $10,000 to the Caring for Others Endowment Fund, you will receive annual updates on the impact your contribution is making. Donations may be pledged for payment over a period longer than one year and can be financed in many ways.
