About the Foundation

The Knapp Medical Center Foundation was formed in 1981 as a non-profit
corporation benefiting Knapp Medical Center and the thousands of
children and adults served each year.

Change in knowledge and
technology continue to shape the way health care is provided. The
Foundation builds an endowment to help provide healthcare equipment and
supplies at Knapp Medical Center. Earnings from the endowment have
allowed the Foundation to grant over $4 million during the past 28
years.
The Foundation raises money through tax deductible donations,
memorials, gifts, honorariums, bequests, and revenue from the annual
gala auction, Harvest Night. Some ways you can help by giving are

• Anniversary Gift to a Special Friend or Family Member
