What is the significance of the hospitals to the community?
Mercy was opened in 1965 with fund raising support form the community. Unity was founded a year later by the North Suburban Hospital District. We were founded by the communities we serve, and we have a long history of giving back. Learn more about us...
Are Mercy & Unity not-for-profit?
Yes. We are a 501(C)(3) charitable organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We are eligible to receive matching gifts from corporations and organizations that support educational activities.
How can I be sure that my gift stays at Mercy & Unity Hospitals?
Philanthropy money raised through the Foundation will remain at Mercy & Unity. Gifts can be “restricted” to be used for very specific purposes. Systems for tracking restricted or designated donations and their uses are in place. As is the policy of Allina Hospitals & Clinics' Board of Directors, money raised locally is spent locally (including interest earned).
