About the Resurrection Development Foundation
The mission of the Foundation is to build relationships and develop partnerships across Chicago to enhance Catholic-sponsored health care services to all who need them.
We pledge:
- To honor and fulfill the generous intent of each donor;
- To effectively use each gift entrusted to our stewardship;
- To work with each donor as our partner;
- To work for the greater good of our patients, families and communities.
Resurrection Development Foundation is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation organized to solicit, receive and account for charitable contributions that benefit all Resurrection Health Care entities.
As Resurrection Health Care has grown, the generous spirit of individuals, businesses and foundations has played an integral part in helping us maintain a strong financial base and provide excellent medical care to all our patients.
