In an increasing competitive market, the Foundation must grow to provide the leadership with support for key priorities which will maintain both excellence and access.

The now and future of our fundraising efforts: making good strategic decisions; being a souce of power and influence, the vital role we all play makes a stronger case about our collective impact in making Southwest Saskatchewan the centre of healthcare excellence.

  • Making a financial commitment by either a one time donation or pledging weekly, monthly or annual amounts;
  • Providing in-kind support of goods or services that are required for the operation of the Foundation;
  • Volunteering to help with campaigns, events or programs;
  • Serving on the Board or one of its many committees.

Any or all of these activities will assist the Foundation in achieving its goals and objectives. By assisting, you can be a vested partner in ensuring quality health care is available for all residents of the Southwest.
