In 2006/07, the Calgary Health Trust raised $39 million to help provide the resources to deliver the finest health care possible for our community. [Calgary Health Trust Annual Report 2006/2007]

The Calgary Health Trust supports excellence in health care by encouraging, coordinating and allocating donations to health-care priorities in the Calgary area. Funds are raised through a variety of ways – including hospital sites, estate planning and well-known special events and lotteries.

Most of the funds donated to the Trust are directed to facilities and programs operated by the Calgary Health Region; funds are also granted to support the Foothills Medical Centre, Rockyview General Hospital, Peter Lougheed Centre and other community-based projects.
