Donor Recogntion

The generosity of all donors, no matter the size of their gifts, enables Mary Greeley Medical Center to be the medical center of choice in central Iowa.

For more information about our recognition programs, please contact us.

Donor Walls

Throughout the medical center are donor walls and displays to honor our supporters. Inside the main entrance is the cumulative giving wall, recognizing those who have contributed $1,000 or more. The Israel Family Hospice House, Diabetes and Nutrition Education Center, Cancer Resource Center, and Auxiliary Gift Shop house special recognition for their supporters.

Sponsorship Program

Community leaders have the opportunity to directly impact the health and lives of thousands of people each year through their participation in the Mary Greeley Medical Center Foundation Sponsorship Program.

The Greeley Society

Mary Greeley Medical Center recognizes contributors who have named the medical center as a beneficiary of a planned gift. Named in honor of Captain Wallace Greeley, the Greeley Society honors those who have invested in Mary Greeley Medical Center long into the future.

Those who establish a planned gift of any size play a key role in securing the medical center’s future. These donors have remembered Mary Greeley Medical Center with a lifetime income gift or as a beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy.

By notifying the MGMC Foundation of your gift commitment, you will be included among the donors recognized by the Greeley Society. We are deeply grateful for these gifts and know they will have a tremendous impact well into the future.

Greeley Awards

The Mary Greeley Foundation held its annual celebration and presented Greeley Awards to Deb, Bill, Lyndsey and Billy Fennelly and Renewable Energy Group (REG). Greeley Awards celebrate those who demonstrate a commitment to philanthropy, and whose contributions and leadership are invaluable to Mary Greeley through support of the Foundation.

The Fennelly Family is well-known for their commitment to giving back to the community, including Mary Greeley for more than 20 years. Deb, Bill, Lyndsey and Billy Fennelly are the kind of supporters every non-profit dreams of having. Even though their lives may be busy juggling work, family and numerous other responsibilities, the Fennellys always make time to volunteer, financially support, and serve as tireless advocates for Mary Greeley in our community. Their uniqueness lies in giving beyond their own resources, helping us raise significant funds over the years for mental health services, the William R. Bliss Cancer Center, and the Extraordinary Visions Campaign – in a variety of ways.

REG was recognized for their long-time partnership and support, investing in its community by generously supporting Mary Greeley Medical Center. Not only are they leading the transformation of biofuel and positively impacting the environment and economy around the world, they are making a significant impact on the lives of children right here at home. For many years, REG has been a sponsor of the Mary Greeley Mileage Club, which helps promote healthy living and active lifestyles by encouraging elementary students to eat fruits and vegetables and move more.
