One of the Foundation's core purposes is to raise funds to support programs, services, and equipment at the Hospital. Many of the capital and program improvements that we fund happen over a number of years, whereas others are short-term. These ever-changing needs drive the changes in the annual grants paid out to the Hospital and the Commitments we make to fund programs in future years at the speed they are implemented in the hospital. This can be seen in the giving table below with grants and commitments reported annually in the audited financial statements.
