What St. Anthony's Hospital Foundation does

St. Anthony's Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization that serves as the dedicated fundraising entity for St. Anthony's Hospital, a 90-bed community hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, founded in 1931 by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany and now part of the BayCare health system. The foundation channels charitable contributions toward advanced medical equipment (such as the Zeiss Kinevo 900 microscope, ROSA Robot, NICO Myriad Spectra, and UroNav biopsy system), patient programs, team member scholarships, graduate medical education, and clinical research. It distributes more than $2.6 million annually to the hospital and recently received an unprecedented $5.2 million residuary estate gift from the Richard I. Kurtz Trust.

The foundation operates a multi-channel fundraising model including signature events (Gilded in Jazz Gala, Golf Classic Tournament, Light Up the Night), a Women in Philanthropy giving society at $1,000 annual membership with voting rights on fund allocation, a Peace of Mind concierge program, a Grateful Patient Program integrated with Blackbaud's donation platform, planned/legacy gifts, tribute and naming opportunities, corporate sponsorships, and an internal team member giving campaign engaging 2,200 hospital staff. Pricing tiers range from $5 minimum gifts to $1,000 annual memberships and seven-figure estate commitments.

The organization is governed by a board of directors chaired by Scott Gault and staffed by a lean team of six led by Executive Director Kathy Parker and Director of Development Amy Leuschke. Its primary customers are individual donors, corporate sponsors, and hospital team members in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay region; its sole programmatic beneficiary is St. Anthony's Hospital. Recent strategic priorities include scaling academic medicine through the BayCare/Northwestern Medicine partnership and pursuing DNV Comprehensive Stroke Center status.
