Founded in 1983, CHU Dumont Foundation raises funds for Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick. The charity’s grants go to equipment, research, and patient experience. In the fiscal year ending in March (F2025), it granted $1.1m to the hospital.

CHU Dumont Foundation grants to the hospital to purchase equipment. It purchased a surgical robot in 2023. This is the most recent purchase that the charity reported. It reports other purchases on its website, which are not dated, such as a MADLI device that is used in the Microbiology Lab, a Breast tomosynthesis that allows for the early detection of cancer, and a Roche Lightcycler 480 PCR device for fast detection of viruses responsible for viral pneumonia.

CHU Dumont Foundation funds research at the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute. The charity does not report on specific research projects.

CHU Dumont Foundation grants money to the hospital to improve patient experience. The charity does not report what it did in F2025, but it lists past projects. These include the renovation of two palliative care rooms, construction of a patio for palliative care patients, and upgrades to improve patient comfort at the Dr. Léon-Richard Oncology Centre and the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge.

CHU Dumont Foundation’s audited financial statements follow line-item costing, which is not a best practice. The charity received $625k in donations and $2.3m in special event revenue in F2025. The total of $3.0m is 81% of revenue. It received $692k in investment income.

The charity granted $1.1m to the hospital in F2025, which is 31% of revenue. It ran a surplus of $1.1m, which is 31% of revenue. The charity spent $270k on fundraising, which is 9% of donations, and $1.1m on administration, which is 37% of revenue, less investment income. For every dollar donated to the charity, 54 cents are available to go to the cause. This is outside of Ci’s reasonable range. From 2023 through 2025, the charity granted $2.6m to the hospital while it spent $3.6m on administrative and fundraising costs.

CHU Dumont Foundation has $14.1m in its reserves (cash and investments). These funds can cover program costs for just under twelve years and seven months, which is well outside of Ci’s reasonable range.

The charity has committed to grant $9.3m to the hospital. The amount is paid as projects arise or as the hospital requests.
