Dakota Medical Foundation encourages and supports charitable giving in our region. We strive to provide donors with useful information to educate them about the benefits of charitable giving and the variety of options available to them. We are a tax-exempt, public charity that allows people to support health-related community needs through direct giving, establishing donor advised funds, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and scholarships.
Our Foundation's primary role is to add significant value to the charitable funds we manage and invest. There are four fundamental ways we add value:
Strategic Grantmaking to Improve Health and Healthcare Access DMF invests in organizations and people who are committed to superior performance and demonstrate the ability to measurably improve health and access to healthcare services.
Improving Performance We continually work to improve the performance of the Foundation, our grant partners and others by increasing organizational effectiveness and capacity to better achieve our vision.
Attracting Additional Resources In order to leverage our resources, we continually attract others to invest time, talent, and treasure to improve health and access to healthcare services.
Advancing Knowledge and Lessons Learned To continually improve DMF's performance and that of other organizations impacting our mission, we advance lessons and best practices learned through our work so that we can continue to improve the Foundation's work by modifying our approach in ways that add more value.
