SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Natividad Medical Foundation (NMF) philanthropically supports programs that continually monitor and improve the health of the people, including the vulnerable, in Monterey County through coordinated, affordable, high quality health care. Philanthropic services include donor cultivation and solicitation (e.g., The Agricultural Leadership Council); special events; annual giving programs; community outreach in connection with fundraising; preparing and submitting foundation and government grant applications; administering restricted funds and foundation gifts; and major gift planning and fundraising.
For calendar year 2016, the hospital received $663,666 in revenue and assets from NMF, primarily for capital medical equipment. For NMC FY17-18, the hospital anticipates $720,000 in revenue from NMF.
NMF will also provide critical services requested by the hospital, including the Medical Director for Health Promotion & Education and NMC-NMF Joint Community Relations.
In addition, NMF raises philanthropic donations each year to support high quality patient care, such as patient assistance in close collaboration with hospital social workers to ensure safe discharge from the hospital; expanded language resources for all patients; a countywide diabetes prevention education program and blood sugar testing supplies for poor diabetes patients; child abuse prevention education; free diagnostic mammograms for poor women; hospital chaplain services; and healing art for the hospital. NMF continues to prepare, secure and provide fiscal management for government grants and contracts to support NMC’s Family Medicine Residency Training Program and the CHOICE hospital-based violence prevention program. NMF annually prepares the federal grant application for the NIDO HIV/AIDS Clinic.
In addition, NMF has provided philanthropic support for programs operated on behalf of NMC, such as Board of Supervisors’ initiatives for gang violence prevention (CHOICE); breastfeeding promotion and Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative work; and the early childhood development initiative through the Shared Beginnings parent education program.
NMF will return to the Board of Supervisors in January to present a report of accomplishments associated with its philanthropic efforts for the past two years.
