Care That Goes Beyond the Bedside

Hospital support covers a wide range of needs that fall outside standard operating budgets. This includes advanced medical education equipment like surgical robots, technology that keeps families connected to loved ones in the NICU, chapel construction and renovation, commissioned Christian artwork, Bibles, and the full salaries of hospital chaplains. Every funded item reflects the Foundation's commitment to whole-person, faith-centered care.

Yes. Donors can designate gifts to support a specific Baptist Health hospital or program. When you give, you can indicate where you would like your gift directed. If you are unsure which designation fits your intent, our team is happy to help you find the right fit. Reach out and we will walk you through your options.

Because the Foundation is embedded within Baptist Health, we hear about gaps directly from hospital leadership, clinical staff, and patients. We do not wait for an annual grant cycle to identify a need. When a hospital team identifies a critical gap in equipment, spiritual care, or patient experience, the Foundation can move quickly to address it. That proximity is one of our most meaningful advantages.

Every dollar you give goes directly to programming. Baptist Health System covers 100% of the Foundation's administrative costs through a separate grant, so no portion of your donation is absorbed by overhead. This is a rare arrangement, and one we take seriously. When you give to Baptist Health Foundation, your gift does exactly what you intend it to do.

Yes. Baptist Health Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all charitable gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a gift acknowledgment letter for your records. If you have specific questions about tax treatment, we recommend consulting your financial advisor.

Many donors choose to honor a nurse, physician, chaplain, or other caregiver who made a meaningful difference during their time at a Baptist Health hospital. You can make a tribute gift through our Honor Your Caregiver page. Your gift supports hospital programs while the caregiver receives a personal notification letting them know they were recognized.
