All donations that the
Foundation receives go towards the base fund unless they are
designated for a specific project. The base funds are never
spent, but invested for future generations.
In 1998 when the Hi-Line Health
Foundation was formed, THE MAIN goal was to establish a
$1,000,000 base to draw interest. Only the interest from the
base funds (not base funds)- would be spent to support and
contribute to the Liberty County Hospital/Nursing Home AND to
assure quality health care services on the Hi-Line. These base
funds are monies contributed by YOU to the Foundation in the
form of gifts, bequests, family memorials, and the two annual
fundraisers: the membership drive and the Trip-of-the-Month
campaign. The Foundation Board is ecstatic to report GOAL met!
$1,000,000 has been achieved! This has been made possible by all
the generous people and many organizations who have contributed
to this success.
With the rising costs of medical
equipment, the increase of healthcare related requests, and the
expansion of healthcare needs in the area, the current Board has
elected to continue to build this base to meet future needs. The
next GOAL has been set. We're aiming for that $2,000,000 mark!
