Indiana University Health Foundation, the fundraising arm of IU Health’s adult hospitals, is launching a $200 million fundraising campaign with the goal of making Indiana one of the healthiest states in the country.
This marks the first fundraiser for the foundation since it was founded in 2018 to consolidate 15 separate IU Health hospital foundations around the state, reports the Indianapolis Business Journal.
The campaign is set up to fund projects to help Hoosiers avoid and treat illness and injury along with programs outside of hospital walls, including social factors that contribute to poor health, such as housing, education, employment, and access to healthy food.
The foundation already has raised $125 million since Jan. 1, 2020, toward the $200 million goal, said Crystal Miller, the foundation’s president. That includes $34.3 million from individual donors, $24.1 million from corporate donors, $13.6 million from foundations and $53.2 million from government grants, the foundation said. Read more.
