Johnson Memorial Foundation

The Johnson Memorial Foundation is a tax-exempt, charitable organization with an Employer Identification Number (EIN) of 41-1678372. It was established to support Johnson Memorial Health Services, a not-for-profit healthcare facility providing a range of services including a hospital, care center, clinic, and ambulance service.

Mission and Activities

The foundation's mission is to inspire philanthropy to enhance the quality and availability of healthcare services for the patients and communities served by Johnson Memorial Health Services. It achieves this by accepting gifts that are tax-deductible and using them to improve healthcare services, facilities, and technology in the local community.

Projects and Initiatives

The foundation supports critical needs in healthcare through specific projects that might not otherwise be implemented due to limited resources. Contributions can be designated to support specific areas of need or can be endowed to sustain excellence in healthcare for the future.

Scholarship Support

The Johnson Memorial Foundation also oversees the Dr. Maus Dawson-Boyd Community Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is awarded to Dawson-Boyd High School graduating seniors and alumni who are pursuing a degree in healthcare.

Community Impact

By supporting healthcare services and education, the foundation plays a vital role in the community's health and viability. It faces challenges typical of rural healthcare, including a declining population and difficulty in attracting and retaining healthcare professionals. Despite these challenges, the foundation continues to make a positive impact through its philanthropic efforts.
