The Foundation itself delivers a donor-centred philanthropic experience, one that recognizes the diverse giving motivations of individuals, foundations, as well as good corporate citizens. Indeed, the quality of care that the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital offers today can at least partly be credited to the philanthropic generosity of donors past.
