Why Your Donation Matters

Your support makes a real difference for access to quality health and wellness care

for all Pender Islanders, and contributes to a healthier community.

We rely on your donations to continue serving our community, especially now, as

funding sources are narrowing.

Did You Know?

• Government support for the cost of the medical clinic is insufficient.

• We are actively and vigorously working to resolve this.

• Other PIHCS activities are supported and other tenants cover their costs.

• Our revenue sources are limited, and come with restrictions on how funds are

used.

• Property tax funds can’t be used for capital projects or for primary health care.

They cover some administrative, insurance, audit and maintenance costs.

• Grant funding is project-specific.

• Many programs depend on annual funding and grant applications.

• There are several necessary upgrades required at the Health Centre.

For 2025-2026, we anticipate a significant shortfall, as we continue to tirelessly seek

more stable funding. Your donation is essential in bridging these gaps.

As a donor, you’re part of a long history of community generosity:

From humble beginnings in the local doctor’s house in the 1970’s to the expanded

Health Centre we know today, your support continues a proud tradition of community

care and participation; Pender residents demonstrate their confidence and optimism

with every gift.

How does your donation help?

Your donation to the 2026 Campaign helps us maintain, improve and modernize the

Health Centre, and to comply with increasingly stringent regulations for safety,

accessibility, fire suppression, security, and safe water systems. Your gift to the General

fund helps us deliver health and wellness programs to all members of the community.

And it helps keep the Centre prepared and equipped to respond to the community’s

needs. Every gift counts.

Donations are tax-deductible. Please consider making a donation today - a single gift, a

monthly or annual contribution, or a legacy gift.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Together - By the Community, For the Community
