The Southampton Hospital Foundation

Southampton Hospital Foundation is the fund-raising arm of the Southampton Hospital Association. A separate, not-for-profit corporation, the Foundation seeks to heighten awareness, promote goodwill, and maximize private philanthropy to advance and strengthen the mission and vision of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. In calendar year 2022, the Foundation raised a total of $11,508,518 in cash and pledges, from private foundations, businesses, and individuals in support of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital's general and restricted purposes. Of this total, $11,508,518 were cash contributions. Contributed income was used to support general operating needs as well as a range of specific clinical programs and services, medical technology, and equipment as well as uncompensated care and support services for vulnerable populations. The Foundation raises funds through a broad spectrum of fundraising activities including special events, grants, direct mail, capital campaigns, planned gifts, major gift solicitations and social networking. The Foundation also collaborates with local and regional community and fraternal organizations to raise funds to advance the mission of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. In 2022, in addition to unrestricted funds, the Foundation undertook fund raising initiatives in support of key clinical initiatives that were supportive of the Hospital's strategic plan. These clinical initiatives included The Paulson Family Emergency Department, the Audrey and Martin Gruss Heart & Stroke Center, the Ed & Phyllis Davis Wellness Institute, the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center, the Kathleen D. Allen Maternity Center, the Edie Windsor Healthcare Center, the Regional Tick-Borne Disease Resource Center, and The Phillips Family Cancer Center. In 2022, the Foundation raised $8,498,477 in cash and pledges towards the $50M needed to build a new free standing East Hampton Emergency Department. This money was raised through private philanthropy and major giving by key donors. The Foundation also planned and implemented its 64th Annual Summer Party the objective of which is to heighten awareness of and raise funds in support of the Hospital's Paulson Family Emergency Department. In response to the continued prevalence of Covid-19, the Foundation maintained the event in its safe 'host at home' format so that donors could enjoy a fully catered dinner party without attending an 800-person event in one tent. The event was successful and raised $996,809. In 2022, Southampton Hospital Foundation partnered with the Ellen P. Hermanson Foundation and Ellen's Well to raise funds on behalf of a broad spectrum of needs related to women with breast cancer. Fund raising initiatives resulted in the purchase of medical equipment and technology and funded support services. Additionally, we collaborated with individuals and organizations to raise funds for our Regional Tick-Borne Disease Resource Center, Center for Parkinson's Disease, and Palliative Care programs. Finally, we implemented plans to advance a major capital campaign in support of a new, state-of-the-art community hospital. In 2022 we reached the original fundraising goal of $35M for the East Hampton Emergency Department and launched the quiet phase of a major Capital Campaign to build a new Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
