The Montfort Foundation solicits, receives, and administers funds that enable the Montfort Hospital to pursue its mission to offer person-centred care to over 1.2 million people in Eastern Ontario. While working at KarmaDharma, I was tasked with designing the Hospital Foundation’s website and annual report, while working closely with the client throughout the process.

It was clear going into this project that the Montfort Foundation’s website would need to do more than just raise funds for the hospital. The Hospital and its Foundation are unique in their focus on human-centred care. In order for this to show through in the site’s design, a visual concept was created to imply the donor’s presence in moments of care at the hospital. Images of patients and hospital staff interacting in meaningful ways were paired with an abstract human form in an embrace. This graphic was inspired by the Hospital’s logo, enhancing the connection between donor, patient, and hospital. Vibrant shades of blue and gradients are used throughout the site to create a modern, friendly and clean aesthetic.
