About Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation Inc.

Overview

The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation (JPCHF) is a Saskatoon-based provincial charity, registered in Canada, that raises and stewards funds in support of maternal and pediatric healthcare in Saskatchewan. It serves as the philanthropic partner to Jim Pattison Children's Hospital โ€” Saskatchewan's only dedicated children's and maternal hospital, opened in 2019 on the University of Saskatchewan campus โ€” as well as to the Saskatchewan Health Authority and related provincial health institutions. Since its founding in 1992, the Foundation has disbursed over $85 million to enhance patient care, fund cutting-edge medical equipment and technology, and advance research and education in areas such as pediatric diabetes, Indigenous maternal health, and youth mental health. In fiscal year 2024, the Foundation granted $4.9 million to the hospital and supported more than 83,000 family visits from 575 Saskatchewan communities. JPCHF is a member of Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations and operates signature fundraising programs including the annual Radiothon, the Jeans & Jewels Gala, and the Sunshine Club monthly-giving program.

Mission

The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation exists to inspire philanthropy that leads the transformation of maternal and children's health in Saskatchewan and globally, through world-class family-centred care, research, and innovation. Founded in 1992, the Foundation raises funds to support equipment and technology, medical research and education, and patient care programs at Jim Pattison Children's Hospital and across the province, ensuring that children, expectant mothers, and their families have access to specialized healthcare close to home.

Vision

The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation envisions a future in which maternal and children's health in Saskatchewan is transformed through world-class, family-centred care, research, and innovation. The Foundation is committed to ensuring that specialized, life-saving care is accessible to children and expectant mothers across all four corners of the province, equitably and regardless of geography, diversity, ethnicity, or socio-economic background. Its positioning statement โ€” 'World-Class maternal, children's care and research that's distinctly Saskatchewan' โ€” reflects its aspiration to deliver globally competitive healthcare rooted in the needs of Saskatchewan families.

Unique value proposition

The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation is the sole provincial charity dedicated to supporting Saskatchewan's only dedicated maternal and children's hospital, serving families from every corner of the province. Its distinctiveness lies in addressing a critical gap: Saskatchewan was historically one of only two provinces in Canada without a dedicated children's hospital, meaning critically ill children often had to be transported out of province for specialized care. By funding the province's only pediatric intensive care unit, its only pediatric transport team, and its only cochlear implant program โ€” among other unique services โ€” the Foundation ensures that world-class, specialized care is available to Saskatchewan families at home. This province-wide mandate, combined with a commitment to equitable access and culturally respectful care, sets JPCHF apart from other regional health foundations.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does WellFunded work?

Donor-advised funds, wealth advisors and foundations use WellFunded to find, research and fund Canadian charities. Instead of rewriting the same proposal for every funder, you complete one profile and it's ready for all of them. Fill in a few short sections and upload your annual report, and we'll turn it into an impact page funders can find by cause, location and program.

Do I need to apply for funding?

No. Funders search WellFunded for charities that match what they want to support, and your profile is what they find. When a funder wants to know more, you'll hear from us. Some funders also post Giving Opportunities for a specific focus, and you can respond to those with the profile you've already built.

What does it cost?

WellFunded is free for charities. We don't charge transaction fees, and we never take a cut of any gift. Funders pay to use the platform.

Who sees my profile?

Donor-advised funds, advisors and foundations using WellFunded to research charities. Together they manage over $2.3B in charitable assets. WellFunded isn't open to the general public.

What is a WellCheck?

When a funder is seriously considering your charity, they may ask for a WellCheck. It's a short set of questions plus a few documents, reviewed alongside your audited financials and CRA filings. We present findings, not verdicts: no scores and no rankings. Do it once, and it's ready for every funder who asks after that.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your data stays in Canada, and we never sell it. See our privacy policy for details.

Is this legitimate?

WellFunded is a Canadian company, built in B.C. by the team behind one of Canada's first online donor-advised funds. If you'd like to meet us first, book a small group session with Jeff, our co-founder and CEO.
