Making more possible for our patients and community.
From lifesaving surgery for trauma patients to the extra support that makes a difficult time easier for visiting families, ECMC offers true care at every level. ECMC Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation, enhances what ECMC offers to our patients and community, secures the resources that make all the difference, and takes on initiatives to financially support the lifesaving work of ECMC.
As our community hospital, ECMC serves a range of patients and families across Western New York. Through generous community support and building connections throughout our region, the Foundation strives to make more possible for our patients, their families, and our community.
Here’s just a sampling of what we’ve helped accomplish:
- Owning and operating the ECMC Mobile Mammography Coach, a one-of-a-kind service in our region which reaches women in underserved parts of our community and around our own ECMC neighborhood (Learn more »)

From providing patient transport vehicles to extended-stay housing assistance, patient comfort carts to personal items, we are committed to providing the resources that too often get overlooked in a time of illness or crisis.
Gifts to ECMC Foundation can be given as cash donations, corporate contributions and matching gifts, United Way donor choice designations, planned gifts, grants, and more. Donors can designate their contributions to a specific service or to wherever the need is greatest.

We also know that we can treat our patients best when we have the most committed and talented people on our team. To that end, the Foundation also contributes to staff training, conference attendance, and other employee assistance programs to help careers flourish and ensure patients receive the most cutting-edge care.
