Allen Foundation

The Memorial Foundation of UnityPoint Health - Waterloo was incorporated for the purpose of operating a foundation to support and benefit UnityPoint Health - Waterloo and its subsidiaries that include Allen Hospital and Allen College. The Internal Revenue Service recognizes Allen Foundation and Allen College as a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation. The Foundation and the College are authorized to solicit and receive gifts, grants, pledges, bequests, or other donations. The Foundation conducted a capital campaign, "Securing a Healthy Future," to raise funds to build Russell S. Gerard II Hall, McBride Auditorium, and the Barrett Forum, and a "Promises to Keep" capital campaign to raise funds for scholarships, program development, and a new third building, Winter Hall, that opened in August 2012. In 2015, the For Allen For You capital campaign kicked off with a goal to raise $8.8 million for Allen College initiatives. Thanks to this campaign, our scholarship endowment has grown immensely, a new simulation lab was created, and we are able to update Gerard Hall to benefit students, faculty, and staff.
