All of us understand one thing about budgets, whether personal or organizational: It’s always good to have something set aside for a rainy day. Southcoast Health, as a nonprofit organization serving the health needs of this community, depends on donations to its Annual Fund for those “rainy day” items that come up throughout the year.

The Annual Fund is the broadest source of unrestricted revenue available to Southcoast, and can be used wherever the need is greatest, from supplies to health screenings to key equipment. Even patient programs, such as diabetes management, cardiac care or breast health education, can get a boost from this all-purpose fund.

Donations to the Annual Fund come from many sources, including Southcoast Health employees, community members, local businesses, and corporate and family foundations. Donors who give $100 or more are recognized in the annual report.

To make a donation or to get more information about how you or your organization can contribute to the Southcoast Annual Fund, visit Philanthropy at Southcoast or email Amy Winn-Blier.
