APPRECIATION | for gifts of time and treasure
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE
SCOTT & WHITE HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION
ince 2010, the Scott & White
Healthcare
Foundation
has created philanthropic
relationships with companies and
community
groups,
matching
organizations’ values and goals with
the areas of greatest healthcare priority
in Central Texas. These partnerships
have a sizable impact in the geographies
we serve and create goodwill among
citizens. We applaud the commitment
and efforts of our philanthropic donors,
who give time and treasure, and are vital
in helping the Scott & White Healthcare
Foundation sustain its mission.
“Many of our programs depend on
philanthropy. Without it, we wouldn’t
be able to treat the number of people
we do,” says Lori Luppino, assistant
director of philanthropy at the Scott &
White Healthcare Foundation.
The Scott & White Healthcare
Foundation has helped thousands of
donor groups find the right match
for their gifts by pairing them
with programs that support their
organizations’ unique interests in
education, research, and patient care.
The foundation matches organizations
of all types—corporations, private and
family foundations, and charitable
community groups—to important
healthcare funding opportunities
benefiting citizens right here.

Corporate Circle
Corporate Relations seeks corporate
funding opportunities for a variety of
funding needs at Scott & White. The
foundation offers its corporate partners
a broad range of giving and investment
opportunities to match their company
mission and to give them a strong
return on their investment. “We can
help organizations that want to give at
all levels—from $1,000 to $1,000,000
or more,” says Angela McGeHee,
associate director of philanthropy at the
Scott & White Healthcare Foundation.
Many corporate donations come
from local companies, like Monteith
Abstract & Title Company, which
gave $25,000 to purchase iPads
for the young patients at McLane
Children’s Hospital. Another donor,
the Killeen Branch of the Navy Federal
Credit Union, donated $1,000 to
Scott & White’s Military Homefront
Services. This program provides free
and confidential counseling to Iraq
and Afghanistan war veterans and
their families. “We wanted to pick a
community organization that supports
the same values that we do, and we
found a shared interest with Scott &
White to help soldiers,” says Branch
Manager Glenn Ellyson.
The Scott & White Healthcare
Foundation also receives many
donations from national corporations,
including Kohl’s (through their Kohl’s
Cares for Kids program), Walmart,
State Farm, and Bank of America.
The giving areas range from injuryprevention programs to cancer research.
“We are doing great work at Scott
& White. Thanks to our donors, we
are able to support medical programs
and research that will go from bench
to bedside, and provide much-needed
equipment for our McLane Children’s
Hospital, and our other facilities and
programs. We would love to educate
