The family behind one of Ottawa's most prominent homebuilding companies has made a transformative donation to support the future of healthcare in the National Capital Region.
Historic Gift for Healthcare Transformation
Kris Singhal, founder of Richcraft Homes, together with his family, has contributed $20 million to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation's ambitious "Campaign to Create Tomorrow". This significant announcement was made public on November 27, 2025, marking one of the most substantial private donations in the hospital's history.
The generous contribution will directly support the development of the new Civic Campus, a state-of-the-art healthcare facility that represents the future of medical treatment in Eastern Ontario. This donation comes at a crucial time as the hospital foundation works to cover the substantial costs associated with building world-class medical infrastructure.
Supporting the Campaign to Create Tomorrow
The "Campaign to Create Tomorrow" represents a comprehensive fundraising initiative with a monumental goal of covering $500 million of the new campus's total development cost. The Singhal family's $20 million donation positions them among the campaign's most significant benefactors and demonstrates strong community support for healthcare innovation.
Richcraft Homes has been an integral part of Ottawa's development landscape for decades, with Kris Singhal establishing the company as a trusted name in residential construction. This philanthropic commitment extends the family's legacy beyond homebuilding into community health and wellbeing, creating a lasting impact that will benefit generations of Ottawa residents.
Building a Healthier Future for Ottawa
The new Civic Campus represents more than just a physical structure—it symbolizes the future of healthcare delivery in the region. With this substantial donation, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation moves closer to realizing its vision of creating a cutting-edge medical facility equipped with the latest technology and designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the community.
Such significant private contributions are essential for bridging funding gaps in major healthcare infrastructure projects. The Singhal family's leadership in philanthropic giving sets a powerful example for other community-minded businesses and individuals, potentially inspiring further support for this critical community resource.
As construction progresses on the new campus, this $20 million donation will directly enhance patient care facilities, research capabilities, and medical innovation, ensuring Ottawa remains at the forefront of healthcare excellence in Canada.
