The Tuomey Foundation

“The organization does not directly compensate any officer, director, or key employee; however, compensation of the top executives paid by prisma health-midlands is determined by an outside compensation consultant, which is then approved by the board.”

“Photocopies of the form 990 are available upon request at the organization's administrative office. In addition, recent filings of the form 990 are available online at www.guidestar.org.”

“The return was prepared by an independent accounting firm with assistance and oversight from management. Upon completion, the return was reviewed by management and made available to all voting members of the board of directors before filing the return with the irs.”

“The conflict of interest policy is discussed annually at a board of directors meeting and when it is raised to attention that there has been a change in status with any member of the foundation's board. Any possible conflicts of interest are noted in the minutes to the meetings and the policy is evaluated prior to discussions and votes.”

“Photocopies of the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request at the organization's administrative office. They are also presented annually through board of governers meeting to discuss changes and requirements for updating on-file information.”

“The tuomey foundation continued to move forward with our plan and had success in building relationships and raising dollars. The tuomey foundation annual golf classic is an exciting opportunity to support the tuomey foundation. Held at the quixote club, the golf classic features teams composed of people from businesses and companies that work with or have relationships with prisma health tuomey. This fund, which is overseen by the tuomey foundation board of directors, allows the foundation to support various projects and programs undertaken by prisma health tuomey, such as community programs that include sumter safe kids, durants childrens' center, wellness screenings, and more. The 2023 festival of trees raised money for tuomey hospice services. The annual festival of trees has quickly become a holiday tradition for sumter county residents. This wonderful event, which is open to the entire community, features christmas trees that are sponsored and decorated by local businesses and organizations. The trees are placed throughout tuomey system campus and downtown shops. These beautifully decorated trees were on display the entire month of december. More important than the beauty of the festival of trees, though, is its beneficiary - tuomey hospice services. Funds raised through these sponsorships go toward this incredible program. Hospice allows patients to spend their final days with dignity, surrounded by their loved ones. Our goal is to provide a hospice unit that will be a place of shelter and rest for terminal patients and their families. This unit will allow a patient to receive the comfort and care needed during a specific time and enable family members to have a respite from their daily care routine. The foundation board and staff continued to focus on the tuomey society ($1,000 and above donors) giving level, and successfully cultivated over 150 tuomey society donors. Our planned giving program continues to be promoted within our community. The advisory council continues to work to help promote and secure estate/planned gifts for prisma health tuomey. The 1913 legacy circle continues to acknowledge those making a planned gift.”
