Of the over 2000 St. Vincent Healthcare employees in 2010, more that 1034 chose to make financial gifts to the “Share Our Spirit” annual giving campaign. Employees’ gifts benefit the following funds held at St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation:

Kids Jubilee Fund – benefiting children’s programs and organizations in the community

Community In Crisis Fund – benefits programs, organizations and individuals working toward resolution of crisis situations

Rural Options Fund – SVH rural clinics’ staff choose a charity in their respective community to benefit by their gifts

Patient Compassion Fund – pays vouchers for patient’s family members for meals, lodging and cab fare so they can remain close to a loved one in the hospital

Employee Crisis Fund – assists fellow SVH employees who find themselves in crisis, needing financial assistance

The Montana Pediatric Project – in support of SVH’s ability to provide a high level of care to Montana’s critically ill or injured children.

Shirley’s Place Daycare – supporting the expansion of the SVH employee’s daycare facility.

and support the United Way of Yellowstone County partnering agencies.

During the 2010 Campaign these generous and thoughtful SVH employees donated over $270,000 to benefit those in need at home and in our community. Since its inception, the Share Our Spirit Campaign has raised over $3.2 million in the spirit of the mission of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, to provide compassionate care to all, especially to those who are poor or vulnerable.
