What Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation does
Mission
Our mission is to provide financial resources and act in the best interests of the Good Samaritan Hospital Association with regard to both short-term and long-range needs, including but not limited to the purchase of new equipment and services and plant replacement. These resources shall be obtained by our active role in meeting and building relationships with potential donors, managing relationships with exisiting donors, and introducing new ways of fundraising as well as improving upon current methods. We will, furthermore, participate in the prudent management of all investments of the Foundation for the benefit of the Good Samaritan Hospital Association.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation's stated mission is to support the mission of the Good Samaritan Hospital Association, to "Advance the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the communities we serve." GSHS Foundation board members and staff support this mission primarily through fundraising and by acting as goodwill ambassadors for GSHA. The Foundation solicits, documents, and manages donations from individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other foundations, ensuring that donor-designated contributions are invested as directed. The GSHS Foundation director seeks grants in support of GSHA's strategic plan and helps to manage the grants once they are received. Additionally, the Foundation hosts two fundraisers each year, a social event and a golf tournament. In fiscal year 26, the Greatest Needs Gala was held in April and the Charity Golf Classic was held in July. The proceeds from the Gala were used to support the HAMC Hospice Program and the Golf proceeds were used to continue supporting the mission of GSHA.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $5.5M to $2.4M (−56%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
72% of Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $20k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $233k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Good Samaritan Hospital Association). These are real filings, and they are not money Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation raised.
From the IRS filings of Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
78% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 83% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
70% of Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $41k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from funders outside North Dakota, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $97k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation's revenue grew 42% between 2017 and 2025.
