Donor Recognition Groups
Supporting the Means to the Mission through Annual Unrestricted Giving
Unrestricted Annual Fund giving makes it possible for the Foundation to exist while it focuses on furthering the mission of the St. Francis Hospital system. The programs and services that meet the needs of patients and improve community health are many, and annual gifts allow the Foundation the flexibility and latitude to direct your gift where it will have the most impact. As donors designate the Foundation to use their gifts “where the need is greatest“, hospital programs are funded and health needs are met as they arise.
The Foundation follows the Franciscan values as it applies unrestricted gifts in support of care for the dying, care for the underserved, care for those in spiritual need, and the continuing professional development and training of hospital staff.
Every gift is important, no matter the size, and many annual donors make gifts, grants, and pledges of more than $50,000. Whether annual donors contribute $1 or $100,000, their gifts make a difference and are recognized in one of eleven annual giving levels.
