Innovate for Impact

RETURNING APRIL 2027!

Be in the room where innovation happens!

Join us at Innovate for Impact, a first-of-its-kind “Dragon’s Den” style philanthropic event from the GBGH Foundation.

Limited spots available. To learn more or to get involved as a donor or sponsor, please contact Victoria Evans at evansv@gbgh.on.ca.

Be part of the GBGH Foundation's philanthropy-driven innovation event!

A first-of-its-kind for the GBGH Foundation, Innovate for Impact is a unique philanthropic event that connects donors directly with members of the GBGH team to fund innovative, solution-focused tools, equipment, and programs that transform patient care.

GBGH frontline team members will present bold, forward-thinking ideas for equipment and programs that go beyond the hospital’s current priorities. Donors will hear directly from those providing care about their innovative idea and will have a direct role in helping bring one of these ideas to life.

This experience offers donors and sponsors a meaningful opportunity to engage with hospital innovation in a tangible and impactful way — supporting practical solutions developed by those closest to patient care.

Five ideas. One stage. Endless possibility.
