The Gabriola Health Care Foundation is committed to transparency and careful fiscal management of all of its funds. GHCF maintains a detailed account of every significant piece of equipment in the building, including purchase dates and expected life spans.The restricted donations dedicated to the Health Centre Fund received in the year, plus a significant portion of any operating surplus that is added to that fund each year, is set aside to cover anticipated needs for the repair or replacement of equipment or building components, as well as any future expansion needs.

Our accumulated reserves enable us to act quickly when a piece of equipment needs replacing or if a major capital expense becomes necessary. These funds remain untouched until needed, ensuring we can respond promptly and effectively.

The Foundation manages funds granted or bequeathed to the organization. Currently the committee administers three funds: Kitty Heller Fund, Health Centre Fund, and a Medical Equipment Fund.

The Kitty Heller Fund is an example of how a bequest can be dedicated toward those things that a donor wishes to support and then have administered by GHCF. This $100,000 fund was bequeathed to the Foundation in 2012 to be used for health promotion programming.
