You Can Make a POWERFUL Difference…Now More Than Ever!

The Power of One Campaign invites our Saint Francis Family to make a powerful difference. Your contributions through this campaign assist our colleagues, patients and communities in a variety of meaningful ways.

The need continues to grow, especially with the Caring Fund. Please help us replenish those funds to assist our colleagues in need. Your tax-deductible contribution to Power of One makes a powerful impact — offering care, compassion and support when it is needed most. Plus, each donation is eligible for a different prize!

REMEMBER: Your contribution may be through payroll deduction, one-time contribution, check or credit card. This is the ONLY colleague-giving campaign. Pledges must be received by November 22, 2024, and payroll deductions will begin January 16, 2025.

Direct your donations to the fund/s that appeals to you. You may choose your favorite fund or split your donation between two choices! Read on to learn more about how you can make a difference!

Why Donate to Power of One?

Power of One

When you participate in the Power of One Campaign, you are living out the Mission of Saint Francis Healthcare System. 100 percent of your donation results in an expression of love and support for our colleagues and patients in times of hardship.

Your gift can be earmarked for the fund you feel most passionate about!

  • Choose Parents With Hope if you want to help families with babies in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
  • Choose CancerCare if your family has been impacted by cancer
  • If you like helping your colleagues – choose the Caring Fund
  • If your heart is with patients with little means and great needs – choose the Sister Esther Fund
  • Or choose Area of Greatest Need, allowing the Foundation to respond to unmet needs and emergencies that fall outside the restricted funds

Your Power of One gift will make a difference in the lives of others, giving them hope and a hand when they need it most. Last year alone provided many great examples of impact that would not happen without your support, including:

  • Nearly 1500 meals and 550 room nights provided for families with children being cared for in our amazing Level III NICU
  • More than $73,000 given to patients in need through medicine, medical equipment, transportation, clothing and lodging through the Sister Esther Fund
  • $151,127 of support given to 47 different colleagues in times of crisis through the Caring Fund
  • More than 2800 patients and their families received treatment, medicine and other necessary services through the CancerCare and CardiacCare funds combined

When you support the Power of One Campaign, Saint Francis Foundation can demonstrate the Power of ALL our colleagues by extending healing and comfort to those that need it most. We need YOU. Each donation to Power of One, big or small, is significant and makes a powerful difference in the lives of so many.

Please consider a generous contribution and experience the blessing of giving. Your support is deeply appreciated!

Caring Fund Expenditures

As you can see, the economy is having a huge impact on our colleagues. The money in the Caring Fund is being depleted, yet the need continues to grow.

Last year’s assistance was 40% higher than the previous year and we expect to exceed that even more in 2024. Our largest expense was helping people just to be able to stay in their homes.
