Community-based Fundraising

The Evangelical Community Hospital Foundation is grateful for the support of community groups and businesses to further the services provided by the hospital to the area’s residents.

There are two types of community-based fundraising—volunteer fundraising and cause marketing.

What is volunteer fundraising?
Activities organized and conducted by community volunteer groups, organizations, businesses, or individuals with the sole purpose providing financial support to the hospital or increasing awareness of the hospital are known as volunteer-based fundraising.

What is cause marketing?
Cause marketing are events or promotions, typically held by businesses, that incorporate the sale of goods or services where a portion of the proceeds benefit the hospital.

The Evangelical Community Hospital Foundation welcomes both types of fundraising in support of its overall mission or any program, endowment, or capital project.
