How You Help
Ascension Providence Foundation’s We Give to Give Associate Giving Campaign provides funding to a variety of programs that support our patients, their families, and our associates. Your gift makes a meaningful, lasting impact on Ascension Providence and those who come through our doors.
Providence’s Area of Greatest Need (Here For You Campaign)
This fund honors the legacy of the Daughters of Charity since Providence’s inception in 1905 when the Daughters met the needs of our community by opening Providence, Waco’s first hospital. This Fund’s goal is to continue to meet Providence’s greatest needs. This fund is allocated via the Providence Foundation’s spring and fall grant cycles and through special grant funding.
Breast Health “Pink Partners” Fund
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and it’s vital for breast cancer to be diagnosed early for better patient outcomes. Donations to the Pink Partners Fund will be used to provide mammograms and follow up biopsies at the Ascension Providence Breast Health Center for uninsured and underinsured women in Central Texas, to ensure they have access to this life-saving exam.
Medical Mission at Home
This fund supports Ascension Providence’s Medical Mission at Home, a one-day free healthcare event, organized and implemented by volunteers, that will provide individuals and families in need with access to primary medical care, health screenings, education, and access to community resources.
John F. Sheehy, Jr. Education Fund
Providing comprehensive, multidisciplinary educational opportunities is vital to providing quality care to all patients. This Ascension Providence fund will support a multidisciplinary education plan in which Ascension Providence Foundation will provide annual educational funding for all eligible nurses, clinical staff and non-clinical associates.
Ascension Living Long Term Care Endowment
Donations will be placed in a special fund for long-term care facility needs. Donations to this fund are invested, and the earnings are used for Ascension Living: Providence Village’s greatest needs. This fund is administered through the Foundation Office.
Agape Fund
Donations are used to provide assistance to patients to ensure holistic care and that their healing process continues even after they leave our care. The Agape Fund may provide anything from medications for patients once they are discharged, who cannot afford their medications needed for healing, transportation home after being discharged, meal tickets, clothing, or hotel stays for parents with newborns receiving care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), when the parents are unable to readily travel between the hospital and their home.
Ascension Providence Foundation Associate Hardship Support Program
This fund was created during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to help associates facing financial hardships to meet emergent needs such as rent, mortgage, utilities, medical expenses, expenses related to the death of an immediate family member, urgent auto repairs (excludes wear and tear), furnace/sewer repairs, air conditioning & water heater repairs and other unexpected needs.
