Sponsorship Program Funding Guidelines

Adventist Health St. Helena is a nonprofit 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 St. Helena mission, support for community benefits including uncompensated medical care, education, screenings and community initiatives are supported annually. As a nonprofit organization, the ability to deliver financial support for community organizations is tied directly to Adventist Health St. Helena’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:

  • Mental Health
  • Obesity and Diabetes
  • Access to Primary Health Care
  • Cancers
  • Access to Affordable Housing

Adventist Health St. Helena 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 St. Helena’s mission – the guiding principle for all sponsorship allocations. Our team is eager and willing to work with you to create a mutually beneficial partnership that supports the needs of our community.
