Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Foundation

Investing in the Healthcare You Deserve

Who We Are

The Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Foundation (“BHCF”), a Bermuda registered charity was incorporated in 2018 as the successor organization to the Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust (“BHCT”).

 

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.

 

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.

 

For over two decades, donors have played a vital role in enhancing healthcare in Bermuda by supporting essential capital projects. The landmark Why It Matters campaign, which led to the development of the Acute Care Wing at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital (KEMH), demonstrated the power of philanthropy to drive meaningful change. Since then, donors and community leaders— through BHCF—have continued to fuel innovation and progress, from securing life-saving equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic to providing essential resources that elevate patient care.

 

BHCF is a stand-alone, independent charity and is not controlled by BHB or the Government of Bermuda.

 

MISSION

VISION
