Causes: Hospices, Human Services
Mission: The foundation was founded in 1990 as a nonprofit, charitable corporation organized to meet the needs of evergreenhealth (king county public hospital district #2). The purpose of the foundation is to encourage, receive, administer and disburse donated funds to the hospital based on donor intent. Charitable donations and bequests underwrite care for those in our community and provide equipment and services to assure quality of care.
Programs: The primary foundation contributions to evergreenhealth include continued funding of the new cancer center, the perinatology program, the musculoskeletal department, neurology department and operationally restricted cash donations for the hospice program. In addition, the foundation supported other smaller programs within evergreenhealth. The hospital pays for several foundation expenses including all foundation staff salary and benefits. The foundation reimburses the hospital for all fundraising expenses but all administrative expenses (which includes salaries and benefits) are recorded by the foundation as donation revenue with an off-setting expense for the same amount.
