SHF Funds
Breast Health Fund
The SHF Breast Health Fund exists because of our generous community. SHF raises money for this fund through Painting the Peninsula Pink, an annual fundraiser in October, along with other individual gifts. Across the Upper Peninsula, it is a source of financial support to help minimize the out-of-pocket expenses for those needing assistance with breast-care-related bills, biopsies, procedures, and ultrasound tests. It is designed to help people who are uninsured or facing high deductibles and co-pays on their insurance.
Equipment Fund
The Equipment Fund is helping improve health in the Upper Peninsula. By supporting durable, medical, and related equipment purchases for nonprofits, the fund enriches lives and improves health outcomes for people across the Upper Peninsula.
Care Access Fund (Formerly Indigent Care Fund)
The Care Access Fund supports organizations that provide financial assistance to individuals to help mitigate the cost of care.
