Door-to-door fundraising is one of the most effective and personal ways we can engage those who may be interested in supporting the work of VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. While the provincial government funds the basic needs of our hospitals and health care centres, our donors help us invest in critical innovations that enable exceptional health care. For this reason, it is important that we continue reaching out to potential donors throughout Metro Vancouver this way.

Monthly giving provides the stable and reliable support that we need to ensure seriously ill and injured patients from across British Columbia continue to have access to world-class care, now and in the future. By giving each month, you can help save and improve lives year-round by funding the equipment, technology, and facilities our health care teams rely on to carry out their crucial work. To become a monthly donor, click here or call us at 604-875-4676, toll-free at 1-877-875-4676.
