Founder of Richcraft Homes donates $20M to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation

When Kris Singhal arrived in Ottawa from Delhi with two suitcases in hand, he brought values that would shape a lifetime of community impact. In 1983, he founded Richcraft Homes, a member of Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA), building thriving neighbourhoods while giving back to local causes focused on education and healthcare.

Most recently, Singhal and his family made one of the largest healthcare gifts in the city’s history, donating $20 million to The Ottawa Hospital’s Campaign to Create Tomorrow. The contribution will support a new state-of-the-art hospital health and research centre to help ensure that essential care will continue to evolve and save lives for generations. For Richcraft Homes’ generosity, a new campus building will be named in the family’s honour.
