Legal career atThe Montreal General Hospital Foundation

Established in 1973, the Montreal General Hospital Foundation’s mission (MGHF) is to provide vital support for vital care. The Foundation is mandated to raise money, manage significant funds and invest responsibly in healthcare research, training and technology at the MGH, the MUHC and more broadly, within the McGill academic health network. We work closely with donors and dedicated collaborators to raise awareness and foster excellence in vital care to all patients, present and future.

Over the last ten years, the Foundation has invested $150 million in support of patient services and research and during the fiscal year 2022-2023 period, our donors generously contributed $23.3 million to fund our work. In the last fiscal year, our community’s incredible generosity combined with the hard work of our foundation team resulted in us achieving an administrative expenditures ratio of 13.4%  (based on the Canada Revenue Agency T3010 rules), well below the Canadian average for large hospital foundations.

In keeping with the wishes of donors, the funds raised by the MGHF go toward supporting leading research programs, acquiring cutting-edge equipment, and helping medical teams with their priority needs. Its strong relationships with the various stakeholders of the healthcare community have made the MGHF a valuable partner when it comes to advising donors as to where investments should be made and advocating for the important investments that donors provide. The MGHF supports a variety of projects at the McGill Network and other establishments.
