Few institutions have played a more central role in Hamilton’s life than Chedoke Hospitals—in all its incarnations, beginning with its creation in 1906 to fight tuberculosis. The Cross of Lorraine on Chedoke’s original west Mountain brow site remains a city landmark of a facility that was the largest of its kind in the British Empire.

The newly-created Chedoke-McMaster Hospitals took over hospital operations in the 1970s while Chedoke Hospitals, later renamed Chedoke Health Foundation (CHF), retained the land and buildings. Since then the sale and transfers of land have provided health-related grants worth more than $72 million. This year, CHF’s board will donate its remaining assets to Hamilton Community Foundation, perpetuating and preserving Chedoke’s historic legacy. The new fund will provide health care bursaries for students who may not otherwise seek post-secondary education, and projects that support health and well-being in Hamilton.

45 Financial highlights

HCF is pleased to report strong financial results for the year ended March 31, 2015.

The generosity of our donors past and present has resulted in donations of $12.6 million for the year. Grants and community leadership projects reached $6.4 million. Financial markets provided an annual 14.5% return, with the 10-year annualized return at 7%. Our reserves, which enable us to continue to grant and maintain operating capacity when the market is weak, remain at their policy maximum. We continue to proceed on diversifying our investments through alternative investment strategies, including impact investment commitments which align more of our assets with our mission, and we are particularly pleased with the increased interest in the Hamilton Community Investment Fund that provides loans to local charities and not for profits. The following are financial highlights and key historical trends. In keeping with our commitment to financial accountability and transparency, full audited financial statements are available atwww.hamiltoncommunityfoundation.ca or by mail.
