Caregiver Generosity
Every day, Kootenai Health caregivers share their time, talents, and compassion to make a difference in the lives of our patients and community. No matter your role, your dedication helps create exceptional care experiences and demonstrates the heart of our organization. When you choose to give, you send a powerful message about the values we share and our commitment to those we serve.
Together We Make a Difference Program
Kootenai Health is proud of its long-standing tradition of caregiver philanthropy. We are honored that so many caregivers and their families choose to support Kootenai Health Foundation as part of their charitable giving each year.
Through payroll deduction, caregivers can make a convenient charitable contribution to Kootenai Health Foundation. Donations are automatically deducted each pay period according to your selected giving preferences.
With more than 50 funds available, you can choose to support the area of Kootenai Health that is most meaningful to you, helping ensure exceptional care, advanced technology, caregiver support, patient assistance, and many other vital programs.
Donor Appreciation Gifts
As a thank you for your participation and generosity, caregivers who give through payroll deduction may be eligible for donor appreciation gifts based on their giving level. You can also choose to opt out:
- All Donors: “I Give” Pin
- $10 per paycheck ($240/year): Kootenai Branded Socks
- $15 per paycheck ($360/year): Stainless Steel Tumbler
- $25 per paycheck ($600/year): Large Insulated Tote

A Gift of Time
Just as long-term volunteers are important to the hospital, those who donate their time during short-term annual events to raise funds are vital to our successful work. The Kootenai Health Foundation holds two events each year, the Golf Tournament in May, and the Festival of Trees in November. Various volunteer opportunities are available at the events. We would love to have you join as a volunteer, as we support the mission of Kootenai Health, together.
Patient & Family Giving
Grateful patients & families often come to us looking for a way to say thank you for exceptional care. You may even have a patient or family ask how they can give back. For this reason, the Kootenai Health Foundation created the Patient & Family Giving program, allowing donors to contribute in honor of a caregiver, physician, or the organization.
