About the Grace Hospital Foundation
Established in 1990, Grace Hospital Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing patient care at the Grace Hospital through the funding of vital equipment and programs.
Foundation staff are committed to enriching and enhancing patient care through our ongoing fundraising efforts. We work very closely with the Grace Hospital management team, physicians, and staff to ensure patients receive the best care possible, and to identify and prioritize the types of equipment, technology, and research programs that will be required in the future. Together, we discuss which items would have the biggest impact on patients and their recovery (both physically and emotionally) in order to improve patient outcomes, and we call upon our donors to help fund those needs.

Why The Grace Needs Your Support & Donations
Donations to the Grace Hospital Foundation directly support patient-related enhancements that would not otherwise be provided by the government, and helps guarantee every patient at the Grace has access to the best care possible.
The generosity of donors from Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba provides funds for several projects focused on increasing the quality of comfort and care received by patients, expanding the array of services the hospital is able to provide, and ensuring the Grace will be well equipped for our growing role in the health care system.
We need your support today to:
– Ensure our doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are working with up-to-date medical equipment;
– Ensure our facility has financial support to conduct health-care research projects, training and skill development;
– And, so we are able to offer patient support programs such as Music Therapy, and Art at the Bedside and Hospice Tea and Bird Feeders.
All of these initiatives have a positive, tangible impact on the care provided at The Grace.
We need your support today to provide continued quality care and exemplary service to those who need us. With your generous donation, you are joining a community of supporters who are making a difference in the lives of our patients and their families every day.
