Why Your 2026 Budget Should Include Children's Health Foundation
As budget season nears, many companies are mapping out strategies for profitability, innovation, and sustainability. We believe purpose should be part of that vision too.
When your company gives back, it doesn’t just feel rewarding. It elevates your brand, boosts employee engagement, and strengthens hiring and retention. In fact, 82% of Canadians say they prefer to support businesses that give back to their communities.
By partnering with Children’s Health Foundation, you help transform futures. Our corporate donors fund groundbreaking research, cutting-edge equipment, vital care-enhancing programs and clinician education at Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre. Together, we ensure hope lives!
Why Corporate Support Matters to Children’s Health Foundation
While Children’s Hospital, serving Southwestern and Northern Ontario, is powered by exceptional medical teams and staff, philanthropy plays a vital role in what can be accomplished. Many of our hospital’s most critical services and programs simply wouldn’t exist without the generosity of corporate and community partners.
Most people are surprised to learn that donations cover nearly 100% of all equipment purchases – from life-saving ventilators and incubators for fragile preemies and micro preemies to revolutionary robotic technology that transforms a child’s epilepsy care. Donors also fuel powerful innovation, like comprehensive personalized medicine for children receiving care.
Aligning Corporate Goals with Community Impact
Corporate giving today is more than a charitable line item, it’s a reflection of your values as a company, a strategy for employee engagement, and a way to connect with the community in a deeply human way. Whether you’re focused on ESG objectives, DEI initiatives, or employee-driven impact, partnering with us helps bring all those goals to life.
Children’s Health Foundation offers:
- Custom partnership plans that spark excitement while aligning with your giving priorities
- Meaningful opportunities for your team to make a difference through volunteering, fundraising, and special events
- A celebration of your generosity through stories that inspire and connect
- Clear impact that your staff and customers will be proud to be part of
