Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation

What Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation does

The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation is a registered Canadian charity incorporated in 1994 that operates as the dedicated fundraising arm for the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) in Ontario. The Foundation raises funds through a diversified portfolio of giving programs including annual direct-mail appeals reaching more than 25,000 community members, the Evergreen Giving Club monthly recurring donation program, tribute gifts in memory or honour of loved ones, planned/legacy giving through bequests, gifts of appreciated securities, corporate matching gifts, and employee workplace giving. It serves residents of Carleton Place and Beckwith and surrounding Lanark County communities in Ontario, Canada.

The Foundation addresses a structural funding gap left by Ontario's Ministry of Health, which does not fund patient care equipment. It channels donor contributions toward replacement and new medical equipment (over $500,000 needed annually since 2019), purchase of new medical technology, hospital staff education, and facility renovations and upgrades. The Foundation operates a DonorPerfect-powered online donation platform supporting one-time gifts, recurring giving, pledge payments, and event registration, with immediate electronic tax receipt delivery. It is complemented by signature in-person events including the annual Bed Pan Classic Charity Golf Tournament at Mississippi Golf & Country Club and, more recently, the CP Catch the Ace progressive lottery.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by a small professional staff of approximately 4–6 members including Executive Director Robyn Arseneau (MPhil, CFRE, MFA-P), a Manager of Engagement & Communications, a Gratitude & Impact Officer, and a part-time Finance Officer. A 22-member Campaign Cabinet and the Hospital Auxiliary (contributing an average of 20,000 volunteer hours per year) support fundraising execution. The Foundation operates within the Mississippi River Health Alliance (MRHA) alongside Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor, and Lanark County Paramedic Service. Its most significant recent accomplishment was the successful completion of the $5 million+ "Healthy Futures. Together!" capital campaign, culminating in the January 27, 2025 opening of the new Thomas Cavanagh Emergency Department.

Direct peers

• Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation: Foundation serving a small-town Ontario hospital in the same Lanark/regional catchment. Comparable scale, community-hospital fundraising model, and reliance on legacy/annual giving from a rural donor base.
• Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation: Fundraising arm of another rural Ontario community hospital of comparable size. Operates with similar giving programs (monthly giving, planned giving, events) and a similar volunteer-driven capital-campaign approach.
• Almonte General Hospital Foundation: Sister foundation within the Mississippi River Health Alliance (MRHA), supporting the other MRHA hospital serving Lanark County. Fundraising model, donor geography, and capital-campaign structure are essentially identical, making this the closest comparability.
• Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation: Fundraising arm of a comparable Eastern Ontario rural hospital. Same donor demographic, same community-hospital equipment-replacement funding-gap rationale, and similar event-driven GTM.
• Kemptville District Hospital Foundation: Foundation supporting another small Ontario community hospital south of Ottawa. Highly comparable in scale, team size, and program mix (annual giving, monthly giving, planned giving, signature events).
• Arnprior Regional Health Foundation: Foundation for a similar-sized community hospital in the Ottawa Valley. Comparable in scope (small staff, volunteer cabinet, annual + planned giving programs) and serves an adjacent rural Ontario geography.

Regional players

• Brockville General Hospital Foundation: Foundation for a community hospital in eastern Ontario. Similar small-city/rural catchment profile and capital-campaign fundraising model; competing for regional donor attention across Ontario's smaller communities.
• Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation: Foundation for a larger Ottawa-region hospital. While not directly competing for donors, it sits in the same Ottawa-area philanthropy market and competes for corporate major-gift and planned-giving prospects.

Broad incumbents

• Montfort Hospital Foundation: Foundation for the larger francophone academic hospital in Ottawa. Operates at materially greater scale and a more sophisticated major-gift and planned-giving program, serving as a regional 'upper bound' benchmark for fundraising capacity.
• The Ottawa Hospital Foundation: Foundation for the major tertiary-care hospital system in Ottawa. While its scale and corporate-giving program are vastly larger, it competes for the same regional major-gift, corporate-matching, and planned-giving donor pool.
