What We Fund
The Alberta Government funds Alberta Health Services, who is responsible for providing health care services to all Albertans. This includes the operation of the Stollery Children's Hospital.
With the support of dedicated donors, the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation raises funds to enhance those services provided by Alberta Health Services in order to create a centre of excellence at the Stollery Children's Hospital.
Each year, the team at the Stollery Children's Hospital submits a list of priority projects to the Board of the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation. The Board then evaluates the submission to determine what the Foundation will commit to funding. This normally takes place in the spring of each year. In 2011, the Foundation provided approximately $9 million in support of these priority projects.
The Foundation raises funds to support four pillars:
- Technology and Equipment;
- Research and Education;
- Infrastructure Excellence; and
- Innovative Programming.
