Granting Strategy

As per the Federal Income Tax Act, the Foundation can only award grants to registered charities as defined by the Income Tax Act – hospitals and medical schools fall within this definition. Organizations seeking grant funds must provide the Foundation with their charitable registration number issued by Revenue Canada.

​

Our intention is that we devote our funds to charitable programs in the field of General Surgery within Canada. Our granting interest is limited to three areas – surgical research that improves patient care, the education of general surgeons and other general surgery stakeholders and advocacy in the interest of improved general surgery patient care.
