The PRHC Foundation is honoured that the work our team loves to do has earned the organization special recognition from the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP). The Foundation has received 2026 Community Hospital Revenue High Performer status – placing among the top 25% of Canadian hospital foundations that support a community/regional health centre.
This means that through the 2025 financial year, the generous Peterborough and area community helped the PRHC Foundation raise $11.1 million in production revenue to fund equipment and technology used to provide world-class care, close to home.
Hospital foundations are evaluated through AHP’s Report on Giving, an annual performance summary for healthcare fundraisers in the US and Canada. AHP is the only international professional membership organization serving the global community of healthcare fundraisers from 2,200 healthcare fundraising organizations. It provides many of the sector’s standards and professional designations, networking, support and training opportunities, and the research and data needed to lead and succeed in healthcare philanthropy.
President & CEO of AHP, Alice Ayres, sent a letter of recognition to President & CEO of PRHC Foundation, Lesley Heighway, this past week. In it, she commented that “this achievement reflects the meaningful ways you and your team engage your community in advancing your organization’s mission and strategic priorities. That partnership helps strengthen the future of healthcare in the communities we serve, and the generosity you inspire is a powerful affirmation of your work and its impact.”
We work hard behind the scenes to high standards of fundraising efficiency and diligence to achieve the most impact with the generosity donors entrust to us. We’re honoured to grow relationships based in trust and full of joy as we help them invest in the healthcare projects at PRHC that are most meaningful to them and that will transform healthcare in our region for their family, friends, neighbours and beyond, for generations to come.
