FOR THE MACKENZIE
HEALTH FOUNDATION

CORTELLUCCI VAUGHAN HOSPITAL

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Community hospitals are integral to the health of Canadians. And as your Ultimate Campaign has so clearly illustrated, when community members are cared for, they show their appreciation by making their philanthropic investments. That is a beautiful thing.

We would be so honoured to join with you in your project to celebrate the broad-based and wide-spread support you enjoy from the community you serve.

We applaud your vision to not just provide exceptional health care to your community, but to provide a world-class health experience.

The fact that you’ve built the first hospital in Vaughan and the first hospital in Ontario in 30 years speaks volumes to your commitment to the community. And the fact that your strategy includes creating the first smart hospital in Canada will go a long way to realizing your vision of ensuring that your leading health experts can create a health experience that is exceptional and closer to home.

It would be a privilege to join you in that vision through this project to commemorate your founding donors of $1,000 to $9,999 to the new Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. Our goal would be to recognize these donors and show the impact of their gifts to inspire an even broader base of community involvement and investment in the future.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal. We hope the following information is helpful as you choose your partner for this project. And we sincerely hope you conclude that BrookGlobal would be the optimal partner to join you in this mission.

THE MACKENZIE

PROJECT TEAM

For more than 40 years, BrookGlobal has been a family-owned business serving communities and organizations across North America to inspire philanthropy and improve lives. The company was born as an architectural signage firm and evolved into crafting donor recognition systems for hospitals and universities in the 1980s.

Twenty years later, we strengthened our commitment to improving philanthropy, and in 2014, we pioneered a paradigm shift to engagement systems that have become game-changers for our partners. These engagement systems are exquisitely beautiful, highly effective, and easily updatable to continue recognizing and inspiring donors.

In creating innovative engagement systems, BrookGlobal takes an evidence-based approach reinforced by deep experience and a broad knowledge base from everyone at #TeamBrook.

Our common denominator? Passion for inspiring philanthropic investment to impact more lives positively.

DISCOVERY

The purpose of the Discovery Phase is to ensure that we understand the strategic objectives and aspirations you have for your department and how this particular project fits into those objectives. This ensures that everything we co-create with you is capable of being a tool to help drive the growth and awareness of the important work your department does.

The Discovery Phase concludes after we’ve drafted two working documents with you – Major Objectives of the Project and What Does Success Look Like? We review and affirm those documents in the next phase – the Strategy Phase. 

STRATEGY

The Strategy Phase is when we take all we learned in the Discovery Phase and develop strategies to ensure success.  

In addition, we work with you to confirm your communication aspirations related to donor experience and philanthropic messaging, then use this knowledge to create strategies to impact the design of your donor recognition. This ensures that the design can most optimally communicate your appreciation of your philanthropic partners now and remain a relevant, impactful tool for years to come. 

DESIGN

The Design Phase is when your donor recognition project comes to life. It is in this phase that we work with you to make the transition from ideas and concepts that exist in our brains to actual drawings and illustrations that become real. 

We have enormous experience in orchestrating this process to produce a result that uniquely reflects you and your institution’s aspirations, hopes, and dreams. In addition, we ensure you end up with powerful tools to help drive and sustain growth in your fundraising program, speak to all audiences, enhance your philanthropic culture, and provide critical philanthropic messages you can migrate across all communication channels. 

Our design team will generate digital artwork previews so your stakeholders and donors can seamlessly make annotations, design requests, and ultimately approve the artwork for this donor recognition project.  

IMPLEMENTATION

The Implementation Phase is exactly what the name implies. It is the phase when the donor recognition project is installed. We bring our vast construction and engineering experience to this process and can navigate any unforeseen challenges or last-minute changes needed by a client.  

Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that your donor engagement centres are long-lasting tools for your fundraising program. We have received numerous accolades from hospital and university facility offices for our installers’ professionalism and capabilities. We understand that we are visitors to your facility, and we do everything we can to honour and respect that environment. 

BrookGlobal has vast experience working with complex organizations related to recognition displays.
