HER Collective

Hope Excels Regionally (HER) Collective is a giving circle where women connect and contribute to fuel advancements in paediatric health care. Together, we are creating a force of hope, ensuring a brighter tomorrow for every child across Western Ontario.

Individual membership is an investment in advancing paediatric care at
Children’s Hospital at LHSC, TVCC, and Children’s Health Research Institute (CHRI).

Together, YOU are helping ensure Hope Lives at Children’s.

Join the women’s giving circle by committing to a minimum annual donation. Your support, pooled with other members, strengthens children’s care across Western Ontario and beyond.

Together, you will vote for which innovative approach to fund for children with life-changing and life-threatening conditions.

With your help, Hope Lives.

Why Join HER Collective?

Impact

Make a greater impact; donations are pooled annually to support Children’s Hospital, TVCC, and CHRI.

Education

Learn firsthand what it takes to deliver health care from experts at Children’s.

Network

Connect with other compassionate believers in equity in paediatric health care.

HER Collective members meet twice a year (Fall 2026 and Spring 2027) – in person or virtually – to hear directly from clinicians advancing innovative projects in children’s health and vote in real time for the initiative you find to have the greatest impact.

Please note: members must be 16 years of age.

The first meeting will include presentations by Children’s experts, and members will cast their votes.
At the second meeting, members will hear about the impact of their collective gift.

This is community-powered philanthropy in action – a powerful, collective way to make your giving more personal, purposeful, and impactful.
