Aspirus Health is committed to our mission of healing people, promoting health, and strengthening communities. As an organization, we are proud to contribute to organizations, programs and events that focus on addressing identified community health priorities, promote health and wellness and improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Aspirus Health utilizes two main funding sources for these efforts which are evaluated by a systemwide team in concert with local leadership.

Community Health Improvement Funding

We are committed to supporting our communities through community benefit programs and meaningful partnerships that advance the health and well-being of the communities we serve. These efforts are aligned with identified community health priorities to ensure resources address the most significant needs. Funding requests are reviewed with priority given to programs and partnerships that directly support these priorities and demonstrate a meaningful impact on community health outcomes and include:

Mental Health
Alcohol & Other Drug Use (AODA)
Access to Healthcare
Chronic Disease
Social Needs (transportation, housing, food, etc.)

Community Health Improvement funding requests must be submitted via the System Community Contribution Request Form and are reviewed on a monthly basis.

Corporate Sponsorship and Donation Funding
Aspirus Health is proud to support a diverse range of not-for-profit professional and charitable organizations with preference given to requests for events or organizations that promote health and wellness and improve quality of life in the communities we serve. Sponsorship review, consideration and priority determination can be impacted by the following:
1. Alignment with Aspirus mission, vision, values and strategic priorities.
2. Support eligible organizations where Aspirus staff members are actively involved.
3. Provides opportunities for brand recognition through media and logo placement.

Corporate Sponsorship and Donation requests must be submitted via the System Community Contribution Request Form and are reviewed on a monthly basis.

Eligibility
As a non-profit health care organization, Aspirus Health only contributes to eligible not-for-profit organizations, governmental and public agencies or organizations that operate with a responsible fiscal party that meets these IRS regulations. All of these organizations are exempt from federal income tax and IRS W-9 forms must be provided with your request. All submissions must support a specific purpose, activity or event.

To ensure we evaluate and assess each request equitably, a cross-departmental team reviews the request on a monthly basis. Please note that it can take up to 45-60 days to have your request reviewed and approved.

Aspirus does not support the following types of requests for contributions:

For-profit businesses
Politically focused organizations
Proposals seeking general support for operating expenses, including salaries
Events outside of the communities Aspirus serves
Fundraising for individuals with a medical condition
Contributions to individuals for sports teams, travel or competitions
Causes that compete with the fundraising efforts of the Aspirus Health Foundation
Third party fundraisers

Please note that Aspirus is unable to fulfill every request, even if the organization meets the stated criteria. Requests are reviewed monthly and past support does not guarantee future funding. Allocations are based on available funds during the Aspirus fiscal year which runs July 1 – June 30.

Submission
Requests should be submitted a minimum of 90 days prior to the event date using the System Community Contribution Request Form. Requests outside that time limit risk denial. Fill out the form as completely as possible, as every detail has impact during the request evaluation process. All requests must use the online submission form to include basic information, funding levels available and event history. An updated IRS W-9 form must be included with the submission.
