Facts and Figures
Thank you for Keeping Cape Bretoners Home for Care!
Since 1991, the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation, in partnership with the community, has raised more than $15 million dollars to purchase new equipment and complete enhancements at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. This has reduced wait times and has provided an increased level of specialized services at home in Cape Breton.
We are very proud to list the equipment and projects that have been funded by our donors and supporters. To view the list of equipment and projects funded over the years, simply click on any of the following years:
We want to assure you that your donations are being used for the purpose you intended.
We are well aware of the sensitivities around the cost of fundraising. That is why we, the Regional Hospital Foundation, continuously monitor our costs to ensure that we are well within the Canadian Revenue Agency and industry standards for fundraising expenses.
We are pleased to report that for 2010 our direct fundraising cost was only 6 cents for every dollar we raised. The industry standard is 20 – 30 cents.
Our administration costs were also 6 cents per dollar. Individual’s salaries are accounted for in these costs.
