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 25, the Greatest Needs Gala was held in April and the Charity Golf Classic was held in July. The proceeds from both events were used to support the remodel of the Haaland Estates Kitchen. The GSHS Foundation also awards the $500 Carol Shively Memorial Scholarship each year to show its support for local individuals pursuing degrees in nursing.
