Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation

What Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation does

Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) is a registered Canadian charitable organization (CRA #11926 8860 RR0001) founded in 1950 alongside Trenton Memorial Hospital, operating from Quinte West, Ontario to raise funds exclusively for Quinte Health's Trenton Memorial Hospital and the surrounding Quinte West and Brighton communities (population approximately 56,000). The foundation's mandate covers non-duplicated medical equipment, facility improvements, and staff education programs not funded by government healthcare budgets; a restricted operating fund ensures donor dollars are not used for administrative expenses.

TMHF generates revenue through four primary streams: donations and gifts (cash, monthly giving, securities, memorial gifts, grateful patient programs), special events (the Stranded in Style Gala, TMHF Golf Classic, Jess and Tay Charity Concert, and numerous third-party community fundraisers), planned giving (bequests, life insurance, endowments), and grant funding (from community foundations, corporate donors, and government programs). Notable recent event outcomes include a $451,401 net 2025 gala and a $52,873.15 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign in 2026. The foundation operates a portfolio of branded programs including Docs By The Bay (physician recruitment), the Heartful Women's Giving Circle ($365 annual membership), Kay Stafford Community and Staff Education Grants, the Grateful Patient/Shining Stars program, and a Youth Council.

The go-to-market motion is event-driven and community-led: signature events serve as mid-funnel engagement vehicles, third-party fundraisers (cookie campaigns, car shows, pasta nights, raffles) extend reach through local businesses, and grassroots channels (volunteers, youth council, monthly giving, peer-to-peer fundraising) drive recurring donor engagement. Distribution is direct-to-donor through a website portal accepting credit cards and e-transfers, mail, and in-person events, with regional geographic scope limited to Quinte West and Brighton. The foundation is currently running the multi-year Emerge Stronger capital campaign tied to a new Emergency Department building supported by the Ontario government.
