OVERVIEW
About Yukon Hospital Foundation:
Yukon Hospital Foundation is a 1-star charity. It is not financially transparent and has an F Results Reporting grade, which is below average. Its overhead spending is 67%, which is not within Ci’s reasonable range. Its reserve funds can cover program costs for nearly two years, which is within Ci’s reasonable range. Read Ci’s report before donating.
Founded in 2005, Yukon Hospital Foundation (YHF) raises money to improve the quality of healthcare for all Yukoners. It grants mainly to the Yukon Hospital Corporation, which runs three hospitals in Yukon: Whitehorse General Hospital, Watson Lake Community Hospital, and Dawson City Community Hospital. The Corporation divides YHF's grants among the three hospitals.
The charity granted $939k in the fiscal year ending March 2025 (F2025). YHF funds hospital equipment and capital expenditure projects. In particular, it funds areas related to cancer care, critical diagnostic imaging, surgery, pediatric care, maternal care, and more. The charity did not provide a spending breakdown for its grants.
In F2025, YHF hosted a Teddy Bear Clinic that welcomed over 230 young patients. This event offered interactive activities for youth to engage with their own stuffed animals, including health check-ups, pharmacy visits and finger painting. The goal of this event was to encourage curiosity about medical care and ease children’s fear of hospitals.
Ci found little information on the charity’s equipment and capital expenditure funding.

Results and Impact
Ci found that Yukon Hospital Foundation reported few results and stories on its work.
While Ci highlights this lack of results, it may not completely represent YHF’s results and impact.
Ci has not calculated YHF’s impact. This shows as n/r and does not affect the star rating.

Finances
Yukon Hospital Foundation is not financially transparent. YHF’s audited financial statements are not publicly posted on its website but were provided when requested.
Although YHF's audited financial statements provide some disclosure on how much it spent on grants and administrative and fundraising costs, it did not break out its staffing costs. This means YHF follows line-item costing, which is not a best practice. Given this, Ci has combined administrative and fundraising expenses.
YHF received $933k in donations and special event fundraising in F2025, which is 82% of total revenue. It earned $108k in investment income in F2025, which is 10% of total revenue. In F2025, it granted a total of $939k, which is 83% of revenue; $614k went to the Yukon Hospital Corporation, $118k went to grants related to paediatrics, and $75k went to grants related to maternity. The remaining funds went to various areas including cancer care, emergency care, palliative care, and more. YHF recorded a deficit of $488k in F2025.
YHF spent $683k on fundraising and administrative costs, which is 67% of total revenue excluding investment income. This means YHF has total overhead spending of 67%. For every dollar donated to YHF, 33 cents are available to go to the cause. This is not within Ci’s reasonable range of 65-95.
YHF has $1.8m in reserve funds (cash and investments). YHF’s reserve funds can cover 192% or one year and 11 months of its annual grant costs. This is within Ci’s reasonable range.
This report is an update that has been sent to Yukon Hospital Foundation for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
