Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation Full time

Who are we?

VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation is Vancouver Coastal Health's primary philanthropic partner, raising funds for specialized adult health services and research for all British Columbians. We partner with donors to drive innovation and sustainable health care at VGH & UBC Hospital, GF Strong Rehab Centre, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and Vancouver Community Health Services.


Community Giving & Engagement (CG&E) identify, inspire, cultivate, solicit, and steward a core of donors to develop the habit of giving annually and monthly in support of health care.

The division does this through a range of awareness and engagement mechanisms such as marketing and brand awareness, community partnerships, fundraising events, direct mail, telemarketing, and online giving.

The Foundation's lotteries and the Art program also sit with the CG&E division as they contribute to both brand awareness and revenue generation from a public audience.

Revenue from CG&E is an important contributor to covering the Foundation's operating expenses generating approximately 20% of the annual total.


The Fundraising Events department develops and implements community events and partnerships that inspire community partners, donors and guests to support VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation in order to grow revenue, and broaden and enhance the donor base.


The department is responsible for:
- the Foundation's community events program which includes large

- developing and executing the Foundation's corporate partnerships strategy to increase corporate support and giving in areas such as employee giving, cause-related marketing, sponsorship, independent community events and more
- generating gross revenue of $3M+ and net revenue of $2.5M+
