Legacy Endowment Fund
Create a lasting legacy by creating a named endowment fund.
Why create a Legacy Endowment Fund?
A Legacy Endowment Fund (LEF) is a permanent pool of capital that earns interest or income each year. This income is then directed to the area of the Hospital you choose to support.
You can establish an endowment fund with a minimum contribution of $25,000 and can continue to make contributions to your fund at any time.
A minimum contribution starts your named fund — and you can add to it at any time.
Reasons to create a Legacy Endowment Fund
As a permanent remembrance for a loved one or to honour a family member.
Support a cause you truly believe in.
Contribute to advancements in research and patient care.
Ensure the best health care for generations to come.
