North York NEXTGEN. North Yorks Next Generation of Leaders

The Future of Philanthropy Starts Here.

North York General is here for life’s most defining moments — seeing the person behind the patient and all who are standing beside them. Through its $500 million Here for Life campaign, the hospital is advancing an ambitious vision for delivering world-class care 24/7 at every stage of life.  NextGen brings together a rising generation of philanthropists and leaders to help move this vision forward — an opportunity to lead with purpose and help shape the care our community will count on for years to come. 

Who We Are

We are a powerful community of high-achieving professionals who are thriving in our careers and ready to make an impact. As emerging leaders, we’re building the skills and experience to sit confidently on boards, lead with purpose, and inspire others to give. 

We’re proud to support North York General’s Here for Life campaign — the hospital’s most transformational fundraising effort to date. Through our giving, fundraising, and connections, we’re helping bring that vision to life so more patients and families can count on exceptional, compassionate care when it matters most.

Supporting The Future Of Care
