Supported by contributions from our members and supporters, the Annual Fund is more than just another fundraiser.

Donations help fund professional education, the development of core curriculum, the Canadian Report on Giving, scholarships and other initiatives that benefit us all as professionals. The educational and professional goals of AHP serve our membership well, but none of it would happen without the commitment and support of our donors.

Resource information Centre (RIC)
The AHP Resource Information Centre (RIC) collects and distributes information on a wide range of topics in health care philanthropy as a free service to its members. Some of the information that can be found in the RIC includes frequently asked questions and answers, useful links, sample policies and job descriptions.

In efforts to provide better service to you, the RIC needs your suggestions, samples and feedback. If you would like to see Canadian specific packets of information, let the RIC know what type of information you would most benefit from. Please contact Becky Russell at the Resource Information Centre.
