The Health Care Foundation works in partnership with Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NLHS) to fund equipment, programs, and initiatives that enhance care for patients, residents, and families.
The funding process depends on the amount being requested.
Requests for less than $2,500 may be eligible for funding through the Health Care Foundation’s Comfort in Care Program.
Comfort in Care supports smaller items and initiatives that can make an immediate and meaningful difference in the experience of patients, residents, and families.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Health Care Foundation invests in equipment, technology, research and programs that enhance patient care and strengthen health care services across the facilities we support. NL Health Services (NLHS) staff seeking funding for projects, equipment or initiatives valued at $2,500 or more are invited to submit a funding request for consideration.
Please begin by speaking with your program manager or department director. The Health Care Foundation can only consider requests that have completed the NLHS approval process and are formally submitted to the Foundation by the CEO of NL Health Services.
The request is presented to the Health Care Foundation for consideration and approval. Requests of $100,000 or more also require approval from the Health Care Foundation Board of Directors.
Once approved, the Health Care Foundation will notify the CEO of NL Health Services and the appropriate department lead. The Foundation will then begin securing the required funding through donor support, fundraising initiatives, and other appropriate funding sources.
Once the necessary funding has been secured, the Health Care Foundation will notify the NLHS department lead and CEO that the purchase or initiative can proceed. Funds will then be transferred to NL Health Services through the established process.
Once equipment is operational or an initiative is implemented, NL Health Services must provide a written update to the Health Care Foundation. This helps demonstrate donor impact, recognize supporters and highlight improvements to patient care.
Every gift helps strengthen health care for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador
