Wikipedia:University Hospitals Kingston Foundation

University Hospitals Kingston Foundation is the fundraising arm for Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston General Hospital and Providence Care.

Since its founding, UHKF has generated more than $80 million in cash and pledges to support patient care, research and education in the Kingston hospitals, thanks to the generosity of more than 40,000 community donors.

UHKF's role is to fundraise and steward the gifts that are committed by donors. All funds raised are transferred to the General Member foundations at each of the hospitals. UHKF's fundraising supports patient care, research and education priorities that are defined by the General Members. Though the solicitation of gifts is focused on specific priorities, UHKF accepts restricted gifts to all areas of patient care, research and education within any of the three hospitals and ensures that the restrictions attached to gifts are complied with in the use of the funds.

UHKF's revenue and expenses are shared among these General Members using a formula that they determine through consultation and negotiation.

UHKF is a unique organization within Ontario, in serving three completely independent health care corporations, and is recognized with the healthcare philanthropy sector as a leader in partnership fundraising.
