Jupiter Medical Center Foundation Raises Record $102 Million in One Year

The Jupiter Medical Center Foundation raised more than $102 million in fiscal year 2026, the largest fundraising year in its history, the hospital announced Nov. 3.

The total came from more than 2,300 donors over the fiscal year that ran from Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026. Giving to the foundation has grown 61% over the past three years.

Where the money goes

The funds support physician recruitment, new technology, specialty services, research and future facilities. Priority areas include cancer care, heart and vascular care, urology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, neurosciences, orthopedics, and women's and infant's services.

The year included a $35 million gift in January from Tim and Jayne Donahue for the hospital's new Patient Care Tower. Within 90 days, the community added another $35 million in new and increased pledges.

Campaign ahead of schedule

The foundation's $500 million Generational Health campaign has now raised more than $293 million and is expected to finish a year early.

Recent and planned projects include the Anderson Family Cancer Institute, the Robson Heart and Vascular Institute, the Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute and the 92-bed Tim and Jayne Donahue Patient Care Tower. A second hospital in Avenir is planned for early 2028, and an expansion of the Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center is set to break ground soon.

Jupiter Medical Center President and CEO Dr. Amit Rastogi said donors have shown they want top-tier healthcare close to home and are willing to invest in it. Traci Simonsen, the foundation's chief philanthropy officer, said that support is essential to the hospital's mission as an independent, not-for-profit hospital.
