This past year has been extraordinary! Thanks to the dedication of our growing team and the generosity of our supporters, we continue to make a tremendous impact in health care for Albertans through all stages of life in the communities where they live.
You are the reason we were able to invest more than $1.9 million at the 22 Covenant hospitals and continuing care sites we support in 10 communities across the province in 2023-24. Your generosity enabled us to fund specialized equipment, advanced programs, leading-edge research, and enhanced spaces that will serve the changing health needs of Albertans now and in the future. With you, we're innovating health care where it matters most — across our six health priority areas of seniors' health and wellbeing, mental health and addiction, rural health, palliative care, women's and children's health, and spiritual care and mission.
Below, you will find our 2023-24 digital annual report, including a short video from my team. I also invite you to click on the links below the video to read about the important health needs we funded with your support. My team and I hope you will feel inspired by the stories included in this report, which demonstrate the life-changing impact we made together in your community.
On behalf of our board and the entire team, thank you for supporting Covenant Foundation. We feel privileged to have you join us as we drive excellence in health care where you live.
With more than 170,000 charities and non-profits in Canada, we're proud to be part of an elite group of approximately 200 in the country – and just 35 in Alberta – accredited by the Imagine Canada Standards Program. Accreditation is awarded to charities and non-profits like ours that excel in five areas including board governance, financial accountability and transparency, fundraising, staff management and volunteer involvement. Our accreditation confirms our commitment to the highest standards of accountability, transparency and governance.
Our Land Acknowledgement

We also support Covenant sites all across Alberta on Treaty 4, 6 and 7 territories as well as the Regions 2, 3 and 4 of the Métis Nation of Alberta.
