26Health Establishes $3.5M Endowment to Support Uninsured Patient Healthcare in Central Florida
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 26Health announces the establishment of the 26Health Endowment Fund at Central Florida Foundation. This fund, created to support 26Health's expansion and service to the Central Florida community, was seeded with a 3.5 million dollar investment. The 26Health Endowment Fund represents the largest investment ever made in 26Health's future and secures the sustainability of the organization for years to come.
The establishment of an endowment provides 26Health with a permanent, predictable source of income. The annual distribution from the fund can be used to support 26Health's initiatives and operating costs. The endowment also allows 26Health to receive legacy gifts dedicated to the organization. As the fund grows, so can 26Health.
"At 26Health, we are constantly thinking about our long-term financial stability and viability. This endowment, established at Central Florida Foundation, the region's community foundation, will ensure our ability to support services for our uninsured patients for decades into the future," said 26Health's co-CEO and co-founder Dr. David Baker-Hargrove.
26Health aligned with the Central Florida Foundation because of its history of successfully stewarding nonprofit endowments and dedication to improving the lives of Central Floridians. The Foundation was established in 1994 and has helped invest over $73M in the Orlando community since then.
"Central Florida Foundation is honored to support 26Health in this important milestone. This permanent source of charitable capital will ensure the stability of the organization now and in the future," said Nicole Donelson, vice president of philanthropy at Central Florida Foundation.
