giving for good bismarck

Local Impact

Every dollar donated across the Bismarck region is making a difference for local patients, families and employees. In 2022, we put $3.1 million in philanthropic gifts to work across the Bismarck region. See the impact below and keep scrolling for opportunities to do more good, close to home, in the year ahead.

Give for Children

Every day, local infants, kids and teens count on Sanford Children’s Hospital Bismarck for extra or unexpected care. Your generosity makes all the difference, supporting everything young patients and their families need to heal and go home healthy. Your gift for the Bismarck Children’s Fund could help support:

• Child Life and music therapy to help kids cope with the fear and uncertainties of hospitalization
• Financial assistance to help families with costs not covered by insurance
• Lifesaving pediatric equipment like ventilators and monitors, and more

Give for Solutions

We all know a loved one, friend or neighbor struggling with, or affected by mental illness, substance abuse or other behavioral health challenges. Together, we can do more to reach people with the help they need. 100% of your gift can help fuel local workforce, access and delivery solutions, like:

• Developing school-based curriculum and expanding behavioral health clinician support in schools, like this program at Simle Middle School
• Expanding scholarship, internship and sponsorship opportunities in high-demand fields including social work and counseling
• Supporting innovative new care services and facilities, and more

Give for Hope

This year, hundreds of local patients will count on the Sanford Cancer Center in Bismarck—the region’s only comprehensive cancer program—for hope and healing, close to home. Your gift for the Bismarck Cancer Fund will stay local to support:

• Travel assistance for qualifying patients who drive significant distances for care
• Complimentary wigs and head coverings
• Costs of lifesaving MRIs and 3D mammograms for underinsured women
• State-of-the-art technology and equipment to support prevention, detection and treatment, and more
