The Sanford Health Foundation has been recognized as a 2026 High Performer by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), earning honors in three categories for its fundraising performance: Overall Productivity, Overall Revenue and Healthcare System Revenue.
The annual recognition honors healthcare philanthropy organizations that rank among the top 25% of U.S. respondents in the applicable revenue or productivity measure in AHP’s Report on Giving. The recognition is based on fundraising results from fiscal year 2025.
“This recognition belongs first and foremost to our donors,” said Deb Koski, chief philanthropy officer for the Sanford Health Foundation. “Their generosity and belief in Sanford’s mission make an extraordinary difference for our people, patients, families and communities across the Sanford Health footprint. To be recognized nationally for both the strength and productivity of our fundraising program reflects the trust our donors place in us and the commitment of our entire team to turn that generosity into meaningful impact.”
The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) uses its annual Report on Giving to benchmark fundraising performance among healthcare philanthropy organizations. For the Sanford Health Foundation, the three designations demonstrate both the scale of philanthropic support across the Sanford footprint and the Foundation’s ability to effectively generate resources that help advance patient care and Sanford’s mission.

Philanthropy gives people an opportunity to be part of something bigger and to help shape the future of healthcare. Every gift represents someone choosing to make a difference. This recognition affirms the collective impact of thousands of dollars, our Sanford colleagues and our Foundation team working together to improve lives.
Through philanthropy, donors to the Sanford Health Foundation support programs, services, research, equipment and other initiatives that help enhance care for patients and families throughout the communities Sanford serves.
