Corporate contributions policy and criteria

To ensure our contributions have a meaningful impact, HCA Healthcare has established clear guidelines for corporate giving.

It is the policy of HCA Healthcare to contribute to activities, organizations and causes in Middle Tennessee that advance both a public purpose and a corporate purpose. The goal of HCA Healthcare’s sponsorship is to provide event-based support on:

  • Health and wellness organizations
  • Children, youth and education organizations
  • Arts, cultural and humanities organizations

In evaluation of sponsorship opportunities, priority will be given to organizations that are focused on Middle Tennessee and aligned with the areas listed above. Further priority will be given to organizations with involvement of HCA Healthcare/TriStar Health colleagues as board members, advisory committee members, event chairs or active and engaged volunteers.

Only organizations with 501(c)(3) status are eligible for funding.

HCA Healthcare does not contribute to:

  • Individuals or individual fundraising efforts
  • Political campaigns/parties
  • Religious organizations
  • Groups that discriminate on the basis of age, religion, color, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin
  • Activities that do not advance our public or corporate purpose
  • Golf events
  • School or sports teams, clubs, activities or events
  • Walks and/or runs*

*We encourage organizations to approach their local TriStar Health facility for support for community walks and/or runs.

Request submission process

All requests for monetary contributions must be submitted through the HCA Healthcare Sponsorship Committee's  online submission system.

For optimal consideration, please submit all sponsorship requests three months prior to the date of the event. The application portal will be closed during the month of December each year.

With very few exceptions, only one sponsorship request will be considered per organization per year.

If you need assistance, please view the online guide for using the system.

Submit your request

HCA Healthcare reserves the right to change or make exceptions to this policy as we deem appropriate. If you have any questions regarding HCA Healthcare’s policy and criteria or submission process, please email Corporate Sponsorship.
