About UMC Charity

Established in Canada as a registered charity in July 2009, this foundation had been in the works for many years and now has come to fruition thanks to a few dedicated members in the uniPHARM family.

The uniPHARM & Medicine Centre Pharmacies Charitable Foundation was created with a single purpose - support and encourage underfunded charities that offer essential services to those suffering from chronic and critical illness. As healthcare professionals and advocates of balanced living, we have over 145 pharmacy shareholders who participate in fundraising activities. Our donation dollars are raised each year from efforts that include: charity golf tournaments, in-store donation boxes and product discount sales. Our mandate is to continually increase financial support to the many vital and underfunded health related charities across Canada. As a foundation we are committed to aligning with non-profit partners that can make a significant impact without high administration costs.
