You Can Make a POWERFUL Difference…Now More Than Ever!
The Power of One Campaign invites our Saint Francis Family to make a powerful difference. Your contributions through this campaign assist our colleagues, patients and communities in a variety of meaningful ways.
The need continues to grow, especially with the Caring Fund. Please help us replenish those funds to assist our colleagues in need. Your tax-deductible contribution to Power of One makes a powerful impact — offering care, compassion and support when it is needed most. Plus, each donation is eligible for a different prize!
REMEMBER: Your contribution may be through payroll deduction, one-time contribution, check or credit card. This is the ONLY colleague-giving campaign. Pledges must be received by Friday, October 30, 2026, and payroll deductions will begin January 14, 2027.
Direct your donations to the fund that appeals to you. Read on to learn more about how you can make a difference!

Your Donations at Work
As you can see, the economy is having a huge impact on our colleagues. The money in the Caring Fund is being depleted, yet the need continues to grow.
In the past 3 years, assistance to colleagues has grown 74%! Our largest expense continues to be helping people just to be able to stay in their homes.
Other Testimonials
“The Caring Fund was able to help me make a house and electric payment when I had nowhere else to turn. The past few years have been difficult on so many people; just one missed paycheck during the pandemic had snowballed into final notices several months later. The Caring Fund was very graciously willing to help my family and me in our time of need, and I will forever be grateful. Not everyone has the opportunity to work for an employer that has such wonderful, giving employees that are willing to help their colleagues. To anyone who may think that the Caring Fund is not worthy of your donation, please reconsider. You never know when you will need help, and the Caring Fund will be there to help you, too!”
“I am just grateful for the Saint Francis Foundation and everything they have done. It means a lot to have that kind of support. I cannot explain it. It is amazing that these funds are available to anyone who needs it. I will give from now on, and I encourage anyone else who can to do the same. Something could happen to you or your family, and you might need that help someday. I am grateful for this program and the help it provides to our Saint Francis Family.”
“I appreciate everything.”
