KRMC FOUNDATION
The mission of the KRMC Foundation is to build goodwill, encourage community support, and to partner with Kingman Regional Medical Center to promote a healthier community
The Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) Foundation is an independent not-for profit 501(c)(3) corporation that provides fund-raising support to Kingman Regional Medical Center. With its formation on October 23, 1985, the KRMC Foundation is a legally separate entity from the hospital and has its own Board of Directors.
The Foundation solicits, receives, and administers gifts from individuals, corporations, private foundations, and grant-making entities for funding new medical equipment, expanding healthcare facilities, and to providing a variety of healthcare programs and services in the community.
Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible and remain "at home" to serve the needs of our community.
