One hundred percent of all funds donated to Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation remain in Chatham-Kent and are directed to support the needs of CKHA, including the purchase of new equipment and the updating of facilities and services at CKHA’s Chatham and Wallaceburg sites.

Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation (CKHAF) operating costs are 100% supported through its fundraising efforts.
CKHAF supports operational costs through interest from investments, a percentage of major campaign costs, unrestricted funds and an administration fee.

Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation staff are independent from CKHA, but follow CKHA HR policies.
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation payroll is processed through CKHA, but reimbursed monthly by the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation.
CKHA houses Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation and supports telephone, postal and occupancy costs.

In 2012, the Board of Directors of the former Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance made the decision to implement a 20% administration fee on all restricted funds. Future major campaigns, including those of the new Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation will have this 20% fee included in the overall campaign fundraising total. CRA approves administration fees up to 35%. This decision was made to ensure that Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation has adequate operating dollars required to fulfil its mission of raising funds to support CKHA in its efforts to provide continued quality healthcare to the residents of Chatham-Kent.

CKHA’s Highest Priority Needs can range from funding for new capital equipment, furnishings and technologies, to the updating of programs, facilities and services at CKHA’s Chatham and Wallaceburg sites.
Raising funds for CKHA’s Highest Priority Needs is of key importance to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation.
