This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Honorhealth Foundation reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
Revenue
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
The needs of our affiliated healthcare system increased exponentially and with it an increased need for philanthropic support. Economic uncertainty among individuals, granting organizations and companies made it more difficult to secure gifts. Fundraising events had to go virtual or were cancelled altogether. We reduced our staff by 10%, put a hold on salary/wage increases and reduced our vacation time liability through mandatory time off.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
Donor relations, a pillar of relationship-based fundraising, had to go completely virtual. Our donors who are older or in ill health had to socially distance for more than a year, which reduced participation in events and programs. COVID protocols at our affiliated hospital system generated deep concern on the part of our donors. We shifted focus to securing fast-moving, COVID-related grants to meet immediate needs. Due to COVID restrictions, major fundraising events were hosted virtually, postponed or cancelled altogether. This negatively impacted the revenue expected from those events and/or pushed the revenue into a new year. These funds are vital to community programs like our Desert Mission Food Bank, Military Partnership, K-9 security program and Forensic Nurse Examiners program, which are all largely dependent upon philanthropic support from the Foundation.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
We started with "comfort calls" to our donors to ensure they were adapting to the early stages of COVID. We provided our board with weekly updates on the evolving situation and communicated safety information to donors. Fundraising efforts shifted to vital, COVID-related hospital needs; we secured emergency funding for increased cleaning protocols, personal protective equipment and comfort supplies for frontline healthcare workers. When the vaccine became available, the Foundation generated donations to purchase the freezers necessary for the early vaccines and helped contact older and at-risk patients to schedule their vaccination. The Foundation also processed more than $2 million in in-kind donations. Much of this came from local restaurants and companies that wanted to express their support for frontline healthcare workers. We distributed meals, treats, gift cards and much more to each of our six hospitals and other care sites.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
Some events will now be offered in a hybrid model, understanding that even under "normal" circumstances some people cannot attend in person. Donors are interested in health information and we are now the conduit for that information. We also provided a way for the public to honor healthcare workers and will continue that focus.

HonorHealth Foundation enrolls every staff member in the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) and covers the costs of professional development programming specific to the needs of each individual department. We have also created our own curriculum for ongoing staff training and development. An individual professional development plan is included in each employee's annual evaluation and monitored by the employee and discussed with their supervisor throughout the year. An Executive Operations Committee was created to give the leaders of each department the platform to participate in overall Foundation strategic planning and to receive any support needed in leading their own teams. All employees are encouraged to advance in their professional through training, teaching and certifications. Recently all leadership participated in, and now leads using, six sigma principles to increase productivity and employee engagement.
The nonprofit provides evidence of leadership through focusing externally and mobilizing resources for the mission.
Strategic Partnerships
Networks of Collective Impact Efforts
Thought Leadership
Raising Awareness
Our SVP of Development serves on the board of Desert Mission, our affiliated social service agency that serves the community through a food bank, adult day center and a childhood early learning center. This ensures that the Foundation team can actively support these programs through personal participation as well as fundraising. Strategic partnerships include our President/CEO's board service on the Arizona Associate of Non-Profits. Another SVP leads a community effort to reduce the stigma associated with opioid use disorder. As presenting sponsors of a 45-year 10K event, we promote family health and fitness; proceeds advance child health and nutrition education in schools. The Foundation communications team builds internal and external awareness of the importance of healthcare and social service programs and how anyone can contribute to the quality of healthcare in their community, using printed materials, social media, website, events and sponsorships.
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
The COVID pandemic created many issues that required us to adapt quickly without compromising our goals. For our employees, we had to secure the equipment needed to enable 37 staff members to work remotely and then support their ongoing needs for communication, collaboration and productivity. Because our fundraising model is relationship-based, we were challenged to build and deepen relationships with donors from a distance. From comfort call campaigns to virtual salons, to regular COVID updates via Zoom, we stayed connected to our donors and provided them valuable information. Second, we had budgeted event revenue for 2020-21 and quickly made plans to shift to virtual events. We produced two galas and a tea by combining video packages with live hosts and streamed the events. The tea broke its fundraising record and the galas met goal. At the same time, the hospital system our foundation supports experienced increased need for philanthropic funding. The Foundation secured funding for germ-zapping robots, fever scanners, vaccine freezers, employee crisis assistance. And, we continued to provide funding for non-COVID clinical and social service programs. Finally, a generous community consistently stepped up to honor its healthcare heroes and the Foundation served as the coordinator of all in-kind gifs. From food and snacks to hand sanitizer and PPE to face creams and gift cards... the Foundation documented, recognized and distributed each in-kind gift equitably across our six-hospital system.
