Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation Sustainability Allocation Policy

Sustainability Allocation Policy

The Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation applies a sustainability allocation of five percent (5%) to all restricted donations. The sustainability allocation enables our Foundation to recover costs associated with the processing and management of donations, the effective stewardship and recognition of our donors, and the provision of reports and other communication materials that tell the story of donor impact upon the hospital, its medical centres of excellence, and the patient care provided. Tax receipts will be issued for the full donation amount.

What is considered an operational cost?

Operational costs are associated with the processing and management of donations, the effective stewardship and recognition of our donors, and the provision of reports and other communication materials that tell the story of donor impact upon the hospital, its medical centres of excellence, and the patient care provided.

What does the Sustainability Fund support?

In addition to operational costs, the Sustainability Fund will support program delivery through the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation. Program delivery includes but is not limited to stewardship activities, such as donor recognition and events; fund development activities, and community engagement efforts; and facilitating distributions of funds to support of the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
