Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation

Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation supports health care and community health in Quinte West, Brighton and surrounding communities, including through the Kay Stafford Memorial Fund. Created from Kay Stafford s legacy gift, the fund has awarded millions of dollars in grants to community groups, hospital staff education and student bursaries. The Kay Stafford Community Grant supports projects that benefit Trenton Memorial Hospital, with priority for initiatives that reduce emergency visits, improve mental health outcomes, support senior care and align with community health goals. In the funding ecosystem, the foundation plays a local health-funder role that bridges hospital needs and community services. Its grants can help organizations deliver prevention, outreach and support that keep people healthier before they arrive at hospital. By turning a legacy gift into recurring community grants, the foundation strengthens the local continuum of care and helps small organizations contribute to hospital-adjacent health outcomes.
