Scarborough Health Network Foundation is a 3-star charity. It has below average disclosure with a C results reporting grade. Its overhead spending and funding reserves are within Ci's reasonable range.

SHNF was founded in 1977. It raises money for Scarborough Health Network (SHN). SHNF reports that Scarborough has long received less public health funding than other parts of the GTA, despite serving 25% of Toronto's population. Over 100,000 Scarborough residents have no family doctor. The area has some of Ontario's highest rates of diabetes and kidney disease.

SHN runs three hospitals and eight sites across Scarborough. The three hospitals are Scarborough General, Birchmount, and Centenary. It is the third-largest community health network in Ontario and serves over 850,000 people. SHN performs over 64,000 surgeries and delivers over 4,000 babies each year. SHNF runs three programs: Major Capital Projects, Equipment and Infrastructure, and Innovative Programs. In F2025, SHNF granted $29.9m to the hospital.

Major Capital Projects was SHNF's largest program in F2025. It accounted for $23.3m or 78% of program spending. It funds large construction and building projects across SHN's three hospitals. Key projects include the Northpine Emergency Department at Centenary and the Birchmount Hospital redevelopment. In F2025, SHNF opened a new Community Mental Health Centre and the Northpine Diagnostic Imaging Centre at Scarborough General Hospital.

Innovative Programs accounted for $3.6m or 12% of program spending in F2025. Key projects included the Northpine Surgery Quality Improvement Project and the Weston Patient Navigator Program. SHNF does not provide additional details on this program.

Equipment and Infrastructure accounted for $3.0m or 10% of program spending. It funds medical devices and facility upgrades. Key projects included the Deepa and Narinder Lal Emergency Department renovation at Scarborough General Hospital. In F2025, SHNF purchased new equipment for breast cancer surgery, sinus surgery, and ICU dialysis.

Scarborough Health Network Foundation had $52.6m of total revenues in F2025. Donations accounted for $48.3m or 92% of total revenues.  In F2025, SHNF spent $29.9m on grants to SHN. Grants were 57% of total revenues.

In F2025, fundraising costs were $8.1m or 17% of donations. Administrative costs were $1.4m or 3% of revenues (less investment income). For every dollar donated to the charity, 80 cents are available to go to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range.

In F2025, the Foundation had $72.2m in funding reserves (cash and investments). This included donor-endowed funds of $1.6m. The foundation’s funds (excluding donor-endowed funds) can cover 2 years and 5 months of annual grants. This is within Ci’s reasonable range.
