What we do

Sunnybrook Foundation inspires lasting support for Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Sunnybrook Research Institute through active partnership and fundraising with our donor community.

Sunnybrook Foundation engages in a detailed strategic planning process with the Hospital to determine the highest needs of Sunnybrook in accordance with the Hospital’s growth plan, while also responding to emerging priorities, special projects and contributions to unrestricted funding that together drive forward Sunnybrook’s vision and mission.

In 2021, Sunnybrook Foundation undertook a rigorous review of our organization and developed a refreshed vision, purpose and values as follows:

Commitment to Dismantling Racism

Sunnybrook is committed through action to being an anti-racist workplace. One where our community of staff, donors, volunteers and partners, specifically those who identify as Indigenous and Black, are respected and their differences celebrated. When we work to address racism against those most marginalized, everyone benefits. We will build a workforce, leadership team and organizational governance representative of the racially diverse communities we serve.

The Foundation stands united in this commitment with the Hospital.
