Community Commitment

Partnering with Our Communities

Making our communities stronger and healthier is at the core of everything we do at Sanford Health. As the nation’s premier rural health system, we’re committed to delivering world-class health care no matter where you live. Our care extends beyond our medical centers and clinics. We are active in the communities we serve, investing substantial resources to drive more opportunity and better health for all.


Community Partnerships

Sanford Health partners with nonprofit organizations to strengthen the health, social and economic well-being of the communities we serve. We prioritize support for community initiatives that address needs in theCommunity Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)and focus on vulnerable populations.


Request Funding

Each community is unique, so each funding request considers local conditions. We have established criteria, however, to guide these decisions. Our community giving follows two different processes, based on the amount of the request within the calendar year.

Read funding request criteria.

Charitable Donations and Sponsorships (Requests for $20,000 or less).
桑福德的地区办事处在收到2万美元或以下的资金申请时进行审查。支持社区卫生优先事项的举措可以优先考虑。

Community Investments (Requests for more than $20,000).
Funding requests for more than $20,000 must meet criteria demonstrating an identified community health need. A cross-functional enterprise committee evaluates applications twice a year. Award cycles will occur in May and October.
