Donors Hike Support for Canadian Hospitals to More than $1.2 Billion

Donors to Canada’s health care institutions increased contributions by $80 million last year, but the much needed financial booster shot remained far below amounts raised before the recession hit. While charitable cash and pledges in FY2010 totaled $1.204 billion, 7.1 percent more than in FY2009, they were $133 million less than the total of funds raised in FY2007, according to the FY2010 AHP Report on Giving-Canada by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy.
