The Foundation’s policies and procedures in the five areas of compliance were evaluated by a group of volunteers from the sector, and were found to be compliant with the Standards Program. Compliance during the accreditation period is monitored regularly to ensure standards are being met.

“Like every charity, our world has definitely changed over the past two months,” says Pamela. “While we didn’t know what the COVID-19 pandemic would mean for fundraising, our donors have stepped up in the most generous and heartwarming ways that truly show the strength of the human spirit.”

Humber River Hospital Foundation is proud to share this accreditation with our donors, board members, volunteers and hospital team who never cease to amaze and inspire us as we work endlessly to help make healthcare ready for whatever tomorrow may bring.
