What Intermountain Foundation does

Intermountain Foundation is the philanthropic fundraising arm of Intermountain Health, a nonprofit regional health system operating across the Intermountain West (Utah, Colorado, and Montana). The foundation solicits charitable contributions to fund hospital projects, patient care initiatives, clinical programs, and caregiver support across the Intermountain Health system, including specialty areas such as pediatric behavioral health, cancer care, heart care, autism services, the Grant Scott Bonham Fetal Center, the Level IV NICU at Primary Children's Hospital, and a planned pediatric virtual care network (Network of Care) and Second Hospital Campus under the Primary Promise campaign. It serves individual community donors, patients' families, caregivers and alumni, corporate partners, and estate/legacy givers, with no disclosed corporate or institutional major-donor concentration.

The foundation operates a diversified giving platform rather than a proprietary technology product. Its core infrastructure consists of an online donation portal (give.intermountainfoundation.org), a recurring monthly giving program, a self-service peer-to-peer Fundraiser Creation Tool, an estate planning/legacy giving program (intermountainlegacy.org), an in-kind donations program, and a virtual wish list supporting Primary Children's Hospital. Fundraising events (A Night of Hope, Festival of Trees, Jubilee of Trees, KSL Give-a-Thon, Holiday Quilt Show) and regional hospital-specific foundations (Colorado: Good Samaritan, Lutheran, Platte Valley, Saint Joseph, St. Mary's; Montana: Holy Rosary, St. James, St. Vincent) provide multi-channel donor acquisition. No proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capability, or data flywheel is disclosed.

The business model is nonprofit philanthropy: revenue is generated entirely through voluntary monetary donations, recurring monthly commitments, planned gifts/bequests, event-based fundraising, in-kind contributions, and employee/alumni workplace giving. No pricing model applies. The foundation is wholly embedded within Intermountain Health (DBA Intermountain Health Foundation), is incorporated as a nonprofit under Utah law, and reinvests all earnings into patient care and clinical programs consistent with its 501(c)(3)-style charitable status.
