Miami Valley Hospital Foundation

What Miami Valley Hospital Foundation does

Miami Valley Hospital Foundation is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization incorporated in Ohio and established in 1983 to raise philanthropic funds for patient programs and services beyond Miami Valley Hospital's operating budget. The foundation operates as the dedicated fundraising arm of Miami Valley Hospital (founded 1890) within the Premier Health system, with its principal offices at 31-40 Wyoming Street in Dayton, Ohio, and a secondary presence at Miami Valley Hospital South in Centerville.

The foundation's revenue model is entirely donation-based, drawing from four primary streams: direct gifts (cash, securities, real property, planned gifts, retirement account beneficiary designations), annual fundraising events (The Valley Classic golf tournament, Champions of Hope, Emmett's Place, Parkinson's Awareness Walk), planned giving vehicles (charitable gift annuities, wills and bequests, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, life insurance beneficiary gifts), and employee giving campaigns via Premier Health payroll deduction. It offers structured donor recognition tiers including the 1890 Society ($150+ annually), Chairman's Circle ($50,000+ lifetime), Valley Legacy (estate planned giving), and a $10,000-minimum endowment program. There are no commercial products or services sold; the foundation operates as a pass-through for philanthropic capital into hospital programs.

Programs funded span cancer supportive care (Cancer Supportive Care Clinic with six components including prevention, survivorship, nutrition, palliative care, and genetic counseling; proposed Cancer Care Boutique), maternal addiction support (Promise to Hope, serving nearly 1,100 mothers since 2015), emergency medical transport (CareFlight, with 90,000+ patients transported in 40+ years and an ongoing $13M AW169 aircraft campaign), surgical robotics training (Brethen Center, featuring ROSA Spine, da Vinci Simulator, and Magellan systems), employee assistance (Catastrophic Emergency Relief Fund since 1997, Mueller Youth Scholarship Fund since 1993, multiple nursing scholarships), and pediatric family spaces (Abby's Nook, Emmett's Place). Go-to-market is hybrid: event-driven (special events as fundraising and awareness vehicles) layered with direct donor engagement through planned giving, corporate sponsorship, and community partnerships.
