Intermountain Foundation:

Intermountain Foundation is a subsidiary of Intermountain whose sole purpose is to generate philanthropy in support of Intermountain’s mission. Over the past decade, the Foundation has experienced remarkable growth with increased total funds raised year over year, using increasingly more sophisticated/contemporary methods of prospect and donor engagement; the result has been top honors from the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy as a North American ‘High Performer’ for 8 consecutive years.

The Foundation is in the final stages of its first-ever system-wide campaign – Primary Promise – exceeding an ambitious $600M+ goal. Primarily focused in Utah (Intermountain’s Canyons Region), this campaign intends to Create the Nation’s Model Health System for Children. For donors, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a lasting legacy that will impact the lives of children and families for decades.

As the Foundation and community celebrate the success of Primary Promise, their focus is now expanding to other strategic priorities aimed at helping people live the healthiest lives possible. These include Women's Health, Cancer, Rural Health, Behavioral Health, and Cardiovascular initiatives.

On the heels of remarkable success, Intermountain Foundation is growing its impact with expanded efforts in its Peaks region – Montana and Colorado – through an integration with 10 foundations associated with the former SCL Health.
