OUR MISSION: THE CAMPAIGN TO CREATE TOMORROW
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation has launched the historic $500 million Campaign to Create Tomorrow, a multi-year campaign to support the construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital on Carling Avenue, as well as world-leading medical research. It’s the largest ever fundraising campaign in our region’s history, representing an ambitious vision for the future of healthcare.
The Campaign to Create Tomorrow already has overwhelming community support. Our team of fundraisers have raised $356m since launching the campaign 4 years ago, which includes some of the largest-ever donations in our city’s history.
“I came from the private sector and was lacking fulfillment. My job was focused on the bottom-line – to make money for a corporation. The Foundation was a welcome change. I connect with the cause, and my work actually matters.”

- Build relationships with – and inspire the confidence of – donors and the general public by phone and email.
- Prepare, coordinate and send routine donor correspondence, such as pledge reminders, thank you letters, etc.

- Ensure accurately and timely updates to Raiser’s Edge (CRM database).
- Rotate in person reception coverage of our front-facing General Campus (501 Smyth Road), and/or Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre (3045 Baseline Road) offices. (Each new hire will be assigned a primary campus of work.)
Knowledge, skills, abilities
