Your support makes a difference
For 150 years, Genesis employees have been serving our community. You save lives, cure the sick, relieve suffering, comfort the dying, bring new life to birth, and keep people healthy.
For 25 years, you have been giving to the Genesis Foundation to make our community, and our health system, an even better place to live, work and play.
THANK YOU
Because of you, the Foundation has granted funds to serve countless individuals in our community. Your gift makes an impact every single day.

BUT WE'RE NOT DONE
Everyday we continue to support the programs and initiatives important to you and answer the call when employees and community members come to us with opportunities to make an impact. For example, most recently, we launched Brayden's Fund to serve families suffering from infant loss. This campaign includes a plan to build a No Foot Too Small Birthing + Bereavement Suite at Genesis East.
Will you continue to stand tall and care for our community?
Making a gift to the Genesis Foundation has never been easier. You may choose the method that works best for you to give a gift that means the most to you!
Philanthropy means love of mankind, when you give you show your own love of mankind. There is no greater joy than love. We hope that you feel great joy each and every time you give a gift meaningful to you.
We thank you for your commitment, we are grateful for your support, and we are humbled by your generosity.
