giving for good fargo

Every dollar donated across the Fargo region is making a difference for local patients, families and employees. Through philanthropy, lifesaving care is offered close to home at facilities like the Sanford Roger Maris Cancer Center, the Sanford Broadway Medical Center, and at our Thief River Falls and Mayville medical centers.

Last year, we put $6.3 million in philanthropic gifts to work across the Fargo region.

In partnership with our valued supporters, we make programs like the Teiken Academy, the new Veterans Lounge inside the Sanford Broadway Medical Center, the new micropreemie program inside the NICU at Sanford Children’s, and our world-class bone marrow transplant program at the Roger Maris Cancer Center possible.
