The Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation is a registered BC society and a registered Canadian charity. Our Canada Revenue Agency Charitable Business Number is # 88771 2891 RR 0001.

Our legal name, and the proper beneficiary for your gift, is Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation. Please note we were formerly called the St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation.

The government funds the essentials—things like salaries and operational costs. It is just not possible for public funding to cover everything that can make healthcare truly exceptional. Technologies are changing faster than ever, promising new research is constantly emerging, and the cost of essential healthcare services for our growing and aging population continues to add up. The government does what it can, but it takes all of us coming together to ensure the best possible healthcare services are available in the Comox Valley.

Yes. Our donors often give in memory or in honour of their friends or loved ones. When a donation like this is made, we can send a special note to a designated individual. Please remember to provide the full name and address of the intended recipient to facilitate this special acknowledgment. If it is a caregiver you are honouring, their name, healthcare site, and department helps us provide your gratitude to the correct recipient.

There are two main reasons. For one, it’s a great way for us to show you the impact your donations have made on improving healthcare in the Comox Valley. It is also one method we use to reach out to the community for support, an approach that has raised millions of dollars to enhance healthcare in the Comox Valley over the many decades of our work.
