The Gift That Keeps Giving
Endowments give back year after year — an investment in the health of future generations. The principal sum remains untouched, while the distributable earnings are used to support a designated priority at Royal University Hospital. Funds are held and disbursed according to the terms set out in the donor agreement. RUH Foundation manages a range of endowments and funds valued at $18.23 million. For more information about how to make a contribution or to set up an endowment or fund, please contact Tricia Haugen, Director of Development, at 306.655.1984 or by email.
