Giving Opportunities

The Foundation welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals and families who wish to help continue the mission of Mercy Health Center. Funds for the Foundation are generated through a variety of giving tools and the development staff is available to work with you to accomplish your philanthropic goals. Other programs offered through the Mercy Health Center Foundation include:

Capture the Spirit Gala - The annual gala is the premier social event and fundraiser in Fort Scott. The gala is held annually the last weekend before Labor Day in August. For the past 13 years, the gala has provided an enjoyable evening of fine dining, music and dancing while enabling the purchase of more than a half million dollars of equipment for the Health Center.

Body, Mind and Spirit Women's Symposium - The Foundation sponsors annually a symposium designed for just women. The evening is free and includes food, prizes, t-shirts and a panel discussion led by health care professionals. It is just one of the ways the Foundation is able to give back to t he community. Support from the community is always welcome to support the symposium.

Memorial Contributions - Contributions may be made in memory of a loved one or to honor a valued friend or family member. Gifts of any size are welcomed. A "Tree of Life" is displayed in Mercy Health Center to commemorate gifts of $250 or more. Special naming opportunities for large gifts are available throughout the Health Center.

Deferred Gifting - Through this program, donors are able to design a gift to meet their personal financial needs as well as those of the Mercy Health Center. Financial planners are available to the Foundation to consult with individual donors about the various investment options.
