We offer annual scholarships to children of Gundersen employees who are pursuing a career in a health-related field. Applications are available on this webpage Jan. 31 for the fall semester. The application deadline is 4 p.m. on the third Monday in June. Review our frequently asked questions for more details.
We sponsor a host of sought-after fundraising events for staff, including the Valentine’s Day Carnation Sale, $7 Sales, Simply Sweet Candy Sales and Love Lights Sale. Proceeds from these events—and more—benefit Partners’ charitable works.
Gundersen Partners is proud of its 75+ year legacy of providing service and philanthropic support for projects within Gundersen Health System that enrich patient and family care and that support the health and well-being of the community. Our primary source of revenue is through the operation of the Gundersen Partners Gift Shop on the La Crosse campus and a variety of fundraising events. The purpose of our Donation Allocation Committee (DAC) is to review organizational and community needs that align with Partners’ mission and allocate funds accordingly.
Departments within Gundersen may apply for a grant by completing the online application (maximum allocation up to $1,000 per calendar year). DAC meets on the first Monday in February, April, June, August, October and November. The submission deadline for all grant requests is noon on Wednesday prior to each meeting. Departments will generally be notified of the committee’s decision within two weeks following the meeting. If you have any questions, please contact the Gundersen Partners office at (608) 775-4120.
