employee giving

No matter your role at Sanford Health or where you work, we’re all united by a common calling to care… a passion for doing good in the world. One way you can live that calling is by becoming an employee donor. 100% of every gift through the Sanford Health Foundation directly supports our Sanford Family, our patients and our communities in meaningful ways you can see and feel.

Almost 13,100 employee donors chose to give for good in 2024 totaling $3.2 million. We invite you to join us in 2025!

Knowing that my family and friends have access to life-saving services gives me the peace of mind knowing that if they would ever need care, we have the resources and highly trained staff here locally to take care of them.

My contributions every paycheck may not seem like much on their own, however, over time and combined with contributions from others, my dollars have the potential to impact someone’s life in a very profound way.
Sarah Hedeen

The compassion that was shown to us during our daughters’ hospitalization made a very difficult situation bearable. I give because of what they gave to us — our daughter’s second chance at life.
