OVERVIEW
About Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation:
Founded in 1976, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation (HHSF) raises money to fund activities at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS), including Hamilton General Hospital, Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, McMaster Children’s Hospital, and St. Peter’s Hospital. HHSF operates under different names for marketing purposes: McMaster Children’s Hospital Foundation, Hamilton General Hospital Foundation, Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre Foundation, and St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation. According to the Foundation, HHS serves a region of 2.3 million people across south-central Ontario. HHSF funds four core pillars at HHS: equipment, redevelopment, research, and education. In F2020, HHSF granted $13.6m to HHS.
In F2020, HHSF allocated 49% of total grants to equipment purchases. In F2020, HHSF funded the purchase of two cardiorespiratory monitors, 15 incubators, ten ventilators, ten monitors and probes, two cerebral function monitors, two cooling-and-warming machines, and ten syringe feeding pumps.
HHSF allocated 26% of total grants to redevelopment in F2020, including building projects and renovation of existing spaces. In F2020, the HHS opened the Ron and Nancy Clark Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies Unit.
In F2020, HHSF allocated 23% of total grants to research and fellowships. In F2020, HHSF supported nine research chairs and funded three covid-19-related projects. HHSF allocated the remaining 2% of grants to education and bursaries.

Finances
Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation had total donations of $18.1m in F2020. Additionally, the Foundation received $645k in lottery income, less lottery expenses. Combined administrative and fundraising costs are 35% of total revenues (excluding investment income). For every dollar donated, 65 cents go to the cause, which is just within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
HHSF has $145.6m in funding reserves, of which $17.9m is donor endowed. Excluding donor-endowed funds, the Foundation could grant at the same level for just over 10 years with reserves. This is a significant increase from F2019, in which the Foundation could cover 392% of annual grants with reserves. This increase is due to a 57% decrease in total grants and a 5% increase in funding reserves from F2019 to F2020. The Foundation could cover just over 7 years of funding at its 3-year average grant level.
