Accountability & Transparency at Trillium Health Partners Foundation
Our Commitment to Donors and Our Community
At the Trillium Health Partners Foundation, we believe that trust is the foundation of every gift. Donors support us because they want to strengthen health care for patients and families across the West GTA and beyond. In return, we are committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of every donation we receive.
We work closely with Trillium Health Partners to ensure philanthropic investments support identified hospital priorities, patient-centered programs, leading-edge equipment, and initiatives that advance care for our community.
Responsible Stewardship of Donor Dollars
We are committed to ensuring every donor dollar is used efficiently and effectively. This means:

- Ensuring donations support projects with measurable impact
- Following CRA requirements for Canadian registered charities
- Upholding strict internal financial controls and annual independent audits
We take this responsibility seriously and continually evaluate our processes to ensure the highest standards of accountability.
