As leaders in care, Niagara Health physicians play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare in our community. The Physicians Giving Campaign is an opportunity to lead by example.
When physicians give where they practice, it signals belief in our teams, our hospital, and the future of care we’re building together. Our goal is 100% Physician Giving at Niagara Health!
Your leadership sets the tone.
Niagara Health Foundation exclusively supports Niagara Health. When physicians step forward as donors, it strengthens trust with staff, patients, and the community – and directly enhances care across our hospitals.
Give to what you value most.
Choose how—and where—you give: designate a program, site, research initiative, or specific equipment need. Give one-time, monthly, or via a pledge at a level that feels right to you.
- One-time: A one‑time gift allows physicians to make an immediate impact on patient care, no matter the size of the contribution.
- Monthly Gift: Monthly giving is a simple, hassle-free way to support. You sign up once and we do the rest.
- Major Gift or Pledge: A major gift allows you to fund a specific piece of equipment, with the option to fulfill your commitment through a pledge made over several years.
- Legacy Giving: A gift made through your estate or a gift in your Will, helps ensure exceptional care for future generations of patients while creating a lasting legacy.
- Gifts of Stock/Securities: A gift of stock/securities lets you support the care you believe in—tax‑efficiently and with lasting impact for patients

Led by peers, grounded in care.
Peer leadership is central to this campaign, championed by medical leaders committed to building a culture of philanthropy at Niagara Health.
“Since I started working full-time in a hospital, I’ve strongly believed in giving back to the hospital that afforded me an opportunity to work and provide my craft. It may have started small and grown over time, but that opportunity has given me a chance to say thank you, and making it better for the people we care for every day.”
Tangible impact in our hospitals.
