OVERVIEW

About CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation:

Founded in 1987 through the merger of Fondation Justine-Lacoste-Beaubien and Fondation Sainte-Justine, CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation raises funds to care for women and children at Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre. The hospital is the largest mother and child care centre in Canada. CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation focuses on risky pregnancies, genetic disorders, cancer care, muscle disorders and heart care. The foundation also funds research and teaching at CHU Sainte-Justine University Hospital.

In F2020 CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation granted $28.7m to the CHU Sainte-Justine hospital. Four categories received funding: Research, Infrastructure, Health Care, and Teaching.

Research received 49% of funding, which focuses on researching personalized treatment methods termed “Precision medicine”.

Infrastructure received 36% of the funding. CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation did not report on the spending of this $10.2m in F2020.

Health Care received 10% of the funding, allowing for new technologies and specialized care in the hospital. In F2020, the foundation helped buy a new mass spectrometer. This technology identifies molecule pieces needed for cancer vaccine development.

Teaching received 6% of the funding, which has supported 500 fellowships since 1998. Sainte-Justine hosts around 3,500 students a year and trains more than 80% of Quebec pediatricians.
