OVERVIEW

About Royal University Hospital Foundation:

Royal University Hospital Foundation is a 2-star charity. It is financially transparent and has reasonable overhead costs. However, it has a below-average results reporting grade and large funding reserves. Before you give, read Charity Intelligence's report.

Established in 1983, Royal University Hospital Foundation (RUH Foundation) raises funds for Royal University Hospital (RUH). Based in Saskatoon, RUH is Saskatchewan’s main trauma and treatment hospital.

Since 2020, the foundation has been running its Mission Possible: Operation New O.R. campaign to help raise funds for new operating rooms and equipment at RUH. In F2022, the foundation funded the purchase of a new hand-held probe, the SPY-PHI. The device is used in gynecological and colorectal cancer surgery. RUH Foundation also funded the purchase of a Mini C-arm. This device helps doctors diagnose and set broken bones without surgery. In F2022 the hospital also funded the purchase of a new GE Healthcare CT Scanner.

The foundation's other priorities include research and education. Since 2005, RUH Foundation reports that it has invested $1.3m in 42 Fellowship Grants for young physicians. This amounts to roughly $31k per fellowship. RUH Foundation’s Women Leading Philanthropy program grants $100k per year to a female physician, specialist, or other medical professional to support research. The money allows them to work on medical projects directly addressing womens’ health issues.

Results and Impact

In F2022, Royal University Hospital Foundation funded the purchase of a Transesophageal Echocardiogram Machine. The machine allows doctors to generate live 3D images of the heart or lungs. RUH Foundation reports that this machine can do the work of 25 X-rays in determining where to insert a shunt.

RUH Foundation estimates that the new RUH Adult Emergency Department, finished in 2020, serves more than 60,000 patients each year. Of these patients, more than 3,300 are treated for heart attacks. RUH Foundation also reports that over a 19-month period, its ILD clinic was able to refine or change patients’ diagnoses in 78% of referred cases. 

While Ci highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Royal University Hospital Foundation’s results and impact.

Finances
