SINCE 1972, THE ASCENSION BORGESS FOUNDATION HAS CONTINUED THE RICH TRADITION OF PHILANTHROPY IN SUPPORT OF HEALTH CARE AND RELATED SERVICES AT ASCENSION BORGESS. WHO WE SERVE DECISIONS MADE BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE BASED ON THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON ASSISTING ESSENTIAL LOCAL PROJECTS THAT WILL HELP MAKE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. UNRESTRICTED GIFTS TO THE ASCENSION BORGESS FOUNDATION ARE DIRECTED BY OUR TRUSTEES TO THE AREAS DETERMINED TO BE OF GREATEST NEED. THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF RESTRICTED FUNDS THAT SUPPORT THE DESIGNATED INTEREST OF OUR DONORS. AS PART OF THE ASCENSION CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY, THE FILING ORGANIZATION SERVED IN SUPPORT OF ASCENSION'S COMMITMENT TO BOTH CARE FOR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES AND SUPPORT CAREGIVERS AND OTHER ASSOCIATES THROUGH THE CHALLENGES OF THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN FY21.
