At Parkland Health Foundation, we believe that healthcare should be accessible to all—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. By establishing or contributing to an endowment, you create a lasting impact, ensuring Parkland has the resources to provide life-saving care, advance medical innovation, and support the evolving health needs of our community.

Endowments offer a sustainable source of funding, allowing us to invest in critical areas like pediatric behavioral health, maternal care, cancer treatment, and preventive services. Your generosity helps secure a healthier future for Dallas County.

Parkland Forever Fund:

This general endowment fund supports the areas of greatest need at Parkland. A donation of any amount at any time can be added to the Forever Fund.

Create a Named Endowment:

You can create a named endowment for a donation of $50,000 or more and plan regular contributions to it. These can be planned for today, the future—and even in your will.

You can even boost your endowment by inviting friends and family to take part. It’s a wonderful way to grow awareness of the work we do together, and to share the difference you make it the community.

The purpose or program that a named endowment supports can be determined by the donor, so your donation will continue to support the Parkland cause you care about most.

If you are considering creating an endowment, it is a good idea to consult with a tax advisor or estate planner to ensure you’re maximizing the tax advantages and structuring your gift in a way that aligns with your overall financial goals.

Benefits:

Creating an endowment ensures that your charitable gift continues to make an impact long after you’re gone. The principal remains invested, and only the income or a portion of the income is used to support the foundation’s work, allowing your gift to have a perpetual effect.

Named endowment donors are recognized as members of Parkland’s 1894 Society as having a special place in the foundation’s legacy, ensuring that your name, or the name of a loved one, is associated with a lasting charitable contribution.
