MAYWOOD, IL – Loyola Medicine's Philanthropy team has been included in the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) 2019 High Performers list.

AHP has recognized 74 U.S. and 10 Canadian philanthropic organizations as high-performing fundraisers in the healthcare industry for fiscal year 2018. These organizations are primarily philanthropy departments and foundations affiliated with nonprofit hospitals or health systems that were surveyed for AHP’s 2019 Report on Giving, which provides key industry benchmarks for healthcare fundraisers.

High performers are defined as those organizations that represent the top 25% in net fundraising returns for a given category. In the “High Performers: Overall” group, the largest category of the year, these high performers reached the top 25% out of all responding institutions, meaning they raised more than $16.0 million in the U.S. and more than $10 million in Canada.

"Philanthropy is an important part of Loyola Medicine's future," say Shawn P. Vincent, president and CEO of Loyola Medicine. "I'm grateful for the generosity of our donors who are inspired to support our ministry and proud of the work of our philanthropy team."

The Loyola Medicine Philanthropy department is led by Amy G. Day, FAHP, CFRE, regional vice president, philanthropy.
