Gold Leaf Society
To celebrate your vision and show our gratitude, those who choose to make a planned gift to the University Hospital Foundation will be recognized as a Gold Leaf Society member. Once you become a member, you will receive a special gold pin, and be invited to annual events as a VIP member of the Foundation family.
Igniters
The Igniters is a bold new program that brings together the next generation of philanthropists to do more than donate — to decide. This special group will have the chance to network and learn about health priorities at the University of Alberta Hospital, and vote to decide where their annual contributions will be deployed.
