The art easel program is a zero-risk way for your organization to help raise funds for the Niagara Health Foundation. By donating just 4 square feet to host an easel, you can help raise vital funds to support urgent equipment needs at our local hospitals, including the new South Niagara Hospital.

One of the most critical needs of hospitals and hospital foundations is non-designated donation income. Your organization can help raise funds for projects and services that maintain and improve patient care.

The Art Easel Program, run by Funding Innovation, is a fundraising medium used by over 100 registered charities across Canada and has raised over $15 million for the charities it supports since 2015.

“The art easel program turns everyday spaces into opportunities to support local healthcare. It’s a creative and impactful way for businesses to give back, raising over $100,000 for urgent equipment needs at Niagara Health.”

Andrea Scott, President & CEO, Niagara Health Foundation
