Grant Applications
The Sandra Schmirler Foundation provides grants directly to hospital foundations in Canada for the purchase of life-saving equipment for Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
Grants are limited to the purchase of life-saving equipment for NICUs and cannot be used for capital campaigns.
Hospital foundations are encouraged to submit proposals for pieces of equipment at a variety of price points.
The Sandra Schmirler Foundation believes it is important to acquaint the public with its grant-making activities. By submitting a grant, hospital foundations agree to the following: a media release announcing the grant, a public announcement with a cheque presentation, recognition fitting with the amount of the grant and promotion of the annual Sandra Schmirler Telethon in its publications and social media.
