Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Foundation

Investing in the Healthcare You Deserve

Who We Are

The Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Foundation's (BHCF or Foundation, Registered Charity #683), vision is to be a major provider of financial support to the Bermuda Hospitals Board by inspiring organisations and individuals to donate to a fully integrated health system, ensuring quality local healthcare services and the overall sustainability of those services. 

The Foundation originated from the 2003 Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust (Trust) whose primary purpose spearheaded a capital campaign for the development of the new Acute Care Wing at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in Paget. Known as “The Why It Matters Campaign”, the capital campaign was the most successful, largest fundraising campaign ever in Bermuda.

At the conclusion of the Why It Matters Campaign, members of the Trust sought to further support wellness initiatives to enhance the hospitals ("Bermuda Hospitals Board") and healthcare experiences.

This broadened scope led the Trust into forming a corporate structure now known as BHCF, or the Foundation, under bye-laws with conventional fiduciary duties, regulatory mandates and Board of Directors to ensure a modern charitable organization.

BHCF sets out fundraising campaigns focused on its mission: “To independently support the Bermuda Hospitals Board in enhancing Health and Healthcare services in Bermuda”.
