Providence Foundation

Our Mission: Through philanthropy, Providence Foundation is an advocate for those in need, an ambassador for the mission of the hospital, and a steward of the resources entrusted to it.

Our Purpose

Established in 1984, Providence Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which receives charitable gifts for USA Health Providence Hospital. The Foundation manages donors’ gifts according to donors’ wishes, to support the continuing healthcare ministry established by the Daughters of Charity in Mobile, Alabama in 1854. Our Foundation allows the hospital to reach many people it might not otherwise be able to help. Our Foundation works with the Hospital in meeting the identified needs of the communities we serve. Contributions to the Foundation help to fund programs, buildings, and equipment.

Events

The following events are the cornerstone of the Foundation's fundraising efforts throughout the year.
