Day Kimball医疗保健 is most fortunate to be part of a vibrant, caring community that exudes philanthropic spirit through participation in countless acts of volunteerism, 宣传和财政支持. 这种慈善精神不仅对戴·金博尔至关重要, but all of our nonprofits who share the common bond of commitment for the betterment of the community in which we work, 玩, 和生活.
Our community is living proof that philanthropy is more than a simple transaction or exchange between the individual and organization: it is meant to be transformational, impacting and meeting the intended goals of both the giver and receiver. 在戴金博尔，这方面的证据很明显. 在过去的二十年里, we have witnessed the transformation of our physical plant with 加入 Hale Medical Pavilion and the Burdick Family Birthing Center, 肿瘤科和手术室的扩建, 最近, 加入 汤森德急救医疗中心 举几个例子. The hospital benefits from the contributions of over 200 volunteers in any given year who serve in a variety of roles to assist staff and enhance the experience of our patients and visitors. There are hundreds more who serve on our leadership and advisory boards, 筹款及活动委员会, 我们的辅助 女人的董事会. 个人和商业社区合作伙伴帮助组织, 导致, and participate in fundraising events that provide funds in support of a variety of services that would otherwise not be afforded to patients and their families including cancer care, 临终关怀, 家庭和儿童权益项目, 精神上的关心, 教育和健康项目, 还有更多. 最有说服力的, 曾经的激情, grass roots effort that has taken place over the past few years to bring renewed attention to protecting one of our most vital assets in Northeastern Connecticut. There is no doubt that the Day Kimball of today is stronger for it.
Our Development Office is much more than a receiver of charitable donations – we not only honor and value your gifts, 但你的存在. 在我的发展生涯中, there has been no role more enjoyable than that as “friend raiser” or more rewarding than that of “philanthropic facilitator” where institutional mission and philanthropic vision come together for the greater good. 作为康涅狄格州东北部土生土长的居民, the lifesaving mission of Day Kimball is one that I care deeply about: meeting the health needs of our community through our core values of clinical quality, 客户服务, 财政责任, 本地控制. The mission of the Development office is to support Day Kimball医疗保健 in meeting those needs by securing philanthropic gifts, 建立对我们服务网络的认识, 通过特殊活动建立关系, 外展活动和捐助者培养. Our role is overarching in terms of community outreach and engagement, raising funds and awareness for all of our service divisions and associated programs including 戴金宝医院, 戴·金博尔家庭护理公司, 戴金博尔家庭主妇, 康涅狄格东北部的临终关怀和姑息治疗以及戴·金博尔牧师项目.
我们的使命是慈善事业——在无私的意义上, 无私地关心他人的幸福. It’s about an exchange of values and a relationship that provides a means by which both parties are able to realize a shared vision or ideal. 这种交流, along with the volunteer spirit on which American philanthropy has been built, 是什么让我们在世界上做出积极的改变. 在我在DKH的短短几个月里, 我每天都在这个社区看到奉献精神. 每次你做志愿者, 提倡, 参加活动, 或捐款给DKH, 你就能改善康涅狄格东北部的生活质量. Philanthropy touches every aspect of Day Kimball医疗保健 and in turn, 对你的健康和幸福有积极的影响, 你的家人, 你的邻居和朋友.
Philanthropy is also about stewardship: good works and deeds deserve gratitude, 问责制, 和肯定. Nothing is more exciting or rewarding than to see the impact that our efforts have on others and to know that our best intentions were respected and preserved. 发展不仅仅是为了筹集资金. It is about generosity and a donor’s decision to bestow that generosity, 以任何形式, upon a cause that they believe in and to be on the receiving end of that generosity is a privilege. There is no refuting the tenants of good stewardship and the duty of care it implies. Philanthropy is what defines Day Kimball as a nonprofit and stands behind the very core of its existence. Our role in fund development is to provide a means by which to achieve it ethically, 负责任的, 和无私.
It is with excitement and great enthusiasm that I have joined the staff at Day Kimball医疗保健 as Director of Development. 在我的新角色里, I hope to further the mission of Day Kimball by being an agent of positive and effective change, to develop stronger relationships with our constituents and community partners, 来支持我们的分支机构, and to continue to grow this organization which is so critical to the health and welfare of our community. 从事筹款和开发工作, I’ve a true appreciation for philanthropy as a means to achieve a public good and admiration for those individuals and organizations that put philanthropy into action through volunteerism, 公共服务, 或者财政支持. Ultimately, it is about people helping people – our success is your success. 通过本专栏, I intend to keep you informed about how we are moving forward with your help, 并邀请你分享你的经历, 的想法, 的想法, and perspectives on how we can best serve the health needs of our community together. I hope that you’ll find the dialogue helpful as you consider how you might put your own philanthropic priorities into action.
