Annie Jeffrey Health Center and the surrounding communities will benefit from a $10,000 grant made by the BryanLGH Foundation Primary Care Matching Grants Program. At its most recent board meeting, the BryanLGH Foundation Board approved the grant award to the Foundation for Annie Jeffrey to assist with the purchase of a new anesthesia machine.
The Foundation for Annie Jeffrey is a non-profit corporation organized to provide funding for projects (such as new medical equipment or facility renovations) that promote health care in the communities served by Annie Jeffrey Health Center. The Foundation is governed by an eight-person volunteer board. The hospital foundation keeps track of funds which are donated and for what purpose they are donated; seeks grants and other outside funding; provides tax reports to the IRS; recognizes donors in newsletters and on our Wall of Commitment; helps publish quarterly newsletters; plans fund raising events; and participates in numerous hospital and clinic activities. Donations to the foundation qualify as tax-deductible charitable gifts.
Proceeds from the Foundation’s annual campaign will be used to fund the balance of the anesthesia machine.
The BryanLGH Foundation Primary Care Matching Grants Program funds programs or services that improve the quality of health care or increases access to health care in the community. Since the program’s inception in 1997, the Foundation has awarded 149 grants to primary health care organizations across the state totaling over $1.2 million.
Organizations requesting grant funds from the BryanLGH Foundation Matching Grants Program must have not-for-profit 501c3 or other tax-exempt status and must be able to match at least half of the funds required for the project. Preference is given to Nebraska-based organizations.
At their February meeting, the Foundation for Annie Jeffrey gave a check to Annie Jeffrey Health Center to pay for the $28,000 anesthesia machine.
