Rick’s Heart Foundation appears to be a small Canadian private foundation that gives modest grants to a mix of health, senior care, and community support organizations, with a clear emphasis on hospitals and long-term care. Its largest gifts go to health institutions such as Korle-Bu Foundation and VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, while other recipients include seniors homes, hospice/care organizations, and charities serving vulnerable populations. The pattern suggests a practical, relationship-based funder that supports both local BC health organizations and at least some international or cross-border health-related work.
