Sponsorship Guideline and Application

Adventist Health Feather River is a not-for-profit health system with a long-standing history of providing philanthropic support for projects and programs offered within the communities we serve.

As a part of the Adventist Health Feather River mission, support for community benefits including uncompensated medical care, education, screenings and community initiatives are supported annually. As a non-profit organization, the ability to deliver financial support for community organizations is tied directly to Adventist Health Feather River’s operating performance and aligned with the mission and Community Health Needs Assessment. Strong consideration will be given to projects that address the four priority areas outlined in the Community Health Needs Assessment:

• Access to Quality Primary Care Health Services & Prescription Medicines
• Access to Affordable, Healthy Food
• Access to Mental, Behavioral and Substance Abuse Services
• Access to Specialty Care
• Health Education and Literacy
• Access to Transportation and Mobility

Adventist Health Feather River has developed this convenient guideline for sponsorship requests. The information is outlined to help you assess the compatibility of your sponsorship request with Adventist Health Feather River’s mission – the guiding principle for all sponsorship allocations.
