PEMBROKE REGIONAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

What PEMBROKE REGIONAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION does

The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is a Canadian non-profit charitable foundation established in 2002 and headquartered in Pembroke, Ontario, that raises, manages, and distributes funds to the Pembroke Regional Hospital for the acquisition of medical equipment and technology not covered by government healthcare budgets. The foundation operates a portfolio of fundraising programs including the Catch the Ace progressive jackpot lottery (with tiered ticket pricing from 3/$5 to 250/$40 and 50% of ticket sales directed to equipment), a Monthly Giving Club subscription program, Planned Giving through wills and estate planning, event-based fundraising such as the Black and White Gala, Heroes Run for Healthcare, and Radiothon, plus targeted campaigns like the Cancer Care Campaign and Together We Care capital campaign, alongside tribute programs (Guardian Angel, Healing Wishes, Easel, Tributes and In-Memory donations). Its revenue model is centered on philanthropic donations and lottery gaming rather than technology or service fees, and it serves a single primary beneficiary (Pembroke Regional Hospital) and a geographically concentrated donor base in Pembroke and the Ottawa Valley. Operational scale is small, with a 1-10 employee footprint, yet recent lottery rounds have raised over $1M in a 39-week cycle in 2025 and over $525K in a 26-week cycle in 2024, funding discrete equipment purchases including $117,170 in hospital beds and $200,000 ultrasound units, with a $500,000 CT scanner target in progress. The foundation distributes lottery tickets through both a dedicated online portal and five physical retail locations across Pembroke and Petawawa, and accepts donations via a DonorPerfect online portal, phone, and mail channels.
