Organizational Overview: 

Empire Health Foundation (EHF) believes communities hold the solutions to the most pressing issues they face, and the foundation is dedicated to a community-centered approach to building healthy and thriving communities in eastern Washington. EHF is a private health conversion foundation formed in 2008 with philanthropic assets of approximately $103M, including $20M designated as a 501(c)(4). 

EHF was formed in 2008 through the sale of Deaconess and Valley Medical Center, a nonprofit hospital system in Spokane. EHF’s early entrepreneurial years focused on advancing the organization’s own bold vision and funding a range of efforts to see what would stick. For much of its history, EHF sought “bright spots” elsewhere and applied those approaches in the Inland Northwest. Although undertaken with the best of intentions, those approaches prevented the foundation from seeing that true health comes from within communities—from thriving families and strong social networks—from a deeper kind of healing. This healing must address historical injustices and persistent inequities, and it must lead to substantial and sustainable change. To do so, it must draw on the cultural strengths of the communities served. The Equity Healing Framework, adopted in spring 2022, outlines the foundation’s commitment to health equity and how the foundation is now approaching partnering with communities across the Inland Northwest.

This evolution has meant transitioning several subsidiaries incubated by the foundation in its early years to independent nonprofit organizations and renewing the foundation’s focus on community relationships and its core grantmaking partnerships. A legal settlement with Community Health Systems in 2019 launched the Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund (EHCAF), a $20M 501(c)(4) endowment. The foundation also works in partnership with the Washington Department of Commerce and the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation to bring additional resources to the Inland Northwest. Today, EHF’s service region includes seven counties and is home to the Colville Confederated, Spokane, and Kalispel tribes.

The foundation is also committed to ensuring mission and values alignment in the stewardship and leveraging of its endowment. Working in partnership with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, EHF began exploring impact investing through the alignment of the endowment, MRIs, and PRIs to leverage its resources more fully for impact. In 2024, EHF will complete a new strategic plan that puts the leadership of communities at the center of its approach, integrating (c)(3) and (c)(4) grantmaking strategies along with impact investing.
