Welcome

At the Niagara Health Foundation, we raise and steward funds to support high-quality patient care, education and research at Niagara Health.

We fundraise exclusively for Niagara Health and bring people across the region together for a single purpose – to help our local hospitals and their healthcare teams deliver the best possible healthcare, right here in Niagara.

Your support makes this possible. Be the reason Niagara Health has the equipment it needs to care for those who need it most.
