There are a number of ways to get your organization involved in philanthropy
Make a Donation
Your gift makes a big difference. You can direct your gift to initiatives or areas of care that you feel best align with your organization.
Employee Giving
There is strength in numbers. The more employees involved, the greater the impact, while building comradery amongst coworkers. Get in touch to discover how your business can implement an employee-giving program where a little goes a long way.
Sponsorship
We host several events and initiatives throughout the year and offer varying levels of opportunity for sponsorship. If your business would be interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact us. We also have a unique program called Brewing Kindness!
Create a Fundraiser
Often called ‘Third-Party-Fundraising,’ this is an opportunity for your workplace to work collectively toward a common goal. Consider incorporating fundraising into your workplace.
ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT
Demonstrate your commitment to the community while giving your team a common cause to support
Supporting the health and well-being of the community through the KGH Foundation is a meaningful way to support the community while showcasing your commitment to ensuring excellence in health care.
Corporate gifts, sponsorships, volunteer opportunities and partnerships provide brand extension opportunities, a way to align corporate values and demonstrate leadership that has a big impact where it matters. When workplaces work together for a common cause and goal, it brings employees and their clients together and instills a sense of pride and spirit like no other. Giving feels good. Giving together feels even better.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Leadership gifts have created opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise be available within traditional government funding models.

ABOUT US
The KGH Foundation prides itself on establishing unique engagement opportunities that support your organizational needs and philanthropic goals.

We want to know what’s most important to you and your team so that we can best align our values.
Some of our most recent engagement opportunities include:
Volunteer and Employee Engagement: Volunteer in one of our business enterprises, get hands-on experience at one of our events or launch an employee giving program.
Event Sponsorships: Bring some public awareness to your organization and support an event with a financial contribution.
In-kind contribution: Many of our events require in-kind goods and services in order to be successful. Contribute and support by donating an in-kind gift.
JoeAnna’s House Share-a-meal: Give back to the guests at JoeAnna’s House by cooking a home cooked meal with you and your colleagues.
Brewing Kindness for Healthcare workers: Brew up some positive change in the community! Treat our healthcare heroes to a coffee, specialty beverage or baked good, compliments of your organization.

There are a variety of areas of care you can support, pending on what your organization is most passionate about! Our current campaign, “Closer to Home thank you think” encompasses eight different areas of care including: Bone and Joint, Brain Health, Cancer Care, Cardiac Care, Clinical & Surgical Excellence, Health System Innovation, Mental Health Care and Women’s Health. This is our most ambitious campaign in KGH Foundation history and is our bold commitment to raise $40 million dollars to support the change needed, right here at home.
Additionally, you are also welcome to support JoeAnna’s House, Hospice House or our greatest area of need. We look forward to working with you to find an area of care that resonates most with you and your team.
