Queen of the Valley Foundation

What Queen of the Valley Foundation does

Queen of the Valley Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation established in 1974 that serves as the dedicated philanthropic fundraising arm for Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center, a 237-bed acute care hospital located at 1000 Trancas Street, Napa, California. The foundation solicits and stewards charitable contributions from the Napa Valley community to fund capital projects, equipment purchases, technology upgrades, clinical programs, and patient services at the medical center, which is the region's largest and most comprehensive healthcare facility offering emergency and trauma care, oncology, heart and vascular services, neurosciences, orthopedics, pediatrics, maternity, and women's health. Cumulatively, the foundation has raised more than $115 million over approximately 50 years, with a most recent disclosed campaign of $100,000 in June 2026 supporting heart health and physician wellness.

The foundation operates within Providence Health System's infrastructure, leveraging shared digital patient-facing products including the MyChart patient portal (for appointment management, test results, prescription refills, and bill pay), Providence ExpressCare (in-person and virtual urgent care), and the Providence mobile app. Its go-to-market is community-based fundraising through Providence's digital channels (website, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube) and in-person events, targeting Napa Valley-area donors segmented geographically. The foundation does not publish pricing or fee information; its "revenue" is donations rather than commercial sales, and donor contribution data is not publicly disclosed at the individual or annual level. As of April 2026, the foundation's underlying medical center is subject to a definitive agreement between Providence and NorthBay Health to transfer ownership, with a related notice filed with the California Attorney General — a structural change that will redefine the foundation's parent organization and beneficiary relationship.

• NorthBay Healthcare Foundation: Foundation arm of NorthBay Health, the system acquiring Queen of the Valley Medical Center. Highly relevant future peer given the pending ownership transition; the two foundations may ultimately operate within the same system.
• Providence St. Joseph Health Foundation (parent system foundations): Other hospital-specific fundraising foundations operating under the Providence Health umbrella. Closest peer because of shared parent, shared digital infrastructure, shared brand history, and parallel fundraising models for individual medical centers.
• John Muir Health Foundation: Foundation supporting John Muir Health, a community-based hospital system in the East Bay. Closely comparable as a regional hospital foundation serving an affluent Bay Area suburban community with similar donor demographics and program-funding model.
