Of the over 2250 St. Vincent Healthcare employees in 2007, more that 1050 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 clinic staff choose a charity in their respective
community to benefit by their gifts

Patient Compassion Fund
funds 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
and support the United Way of Yellowstone County partnering agencies.

During the 2008 Campaign (October 2007) these generous and thoughtful SVH employees donated over $243,000 to benefit those in need at home and in our community.  Since its inception, the Share Our Spirit Campaign has raised nearly $2.7 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.
