Intermountain Health is one of the nation’s leading integrated, not-for-profit healthcare systems, serving communities across eight states in the Mountain West. Guided by its mission to help people live the healthiest lives possible, Intermountain is nationally recognized for clinical excellence, innovation, and its deep commitment to community well-being. With 33 hospitals, 385 clinics, more than 64,000 employees, and a robust medical group of over 3,800 physicians and advanced practice clinicians, Intermountain delivers proactive, evidence-based, and accessible care across Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Kansas.
Intermountain Health Foundation fuels this mission through philanthropy. Over the past decade, the Foundation has achieved remarkable growth and has been recognized by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy as a North American High Performer for multiple consecutive years. The recently completed Primary Promise campaign exceeded its $600 million goal, establishing a national model for children’s health. Building on this success, the Foundation is expanding its focus to women’s health, cancer, cardiovascular care, behavioral health, rural health, and other transformative priorities across the system.
The Opportunity
With a new strategic plan on the horizon and the launch of the most ambitious comprehensive campaign in its history, the Foundation is preparing to operate in sustained campaign mode. The next Executive Director of Philanthropy will serve as a key leader for the Canyons Region during this period of bold growth and expanding system priorities.
The Executive Director will manage and inspire frontline philanthropy officers while carrying a significant portfolio of high-capacity donors. This leader will set strategy, drive measurable accountability through KPIs and data-informed decision-making, and cultivate a culture grounded in collaboration and results.
Partnering closely with the Region Vice President, hospital presidents, physicians, Foundation Boards, and system leaders, the Executive Director will deepen donor engagement and unlock transformational gifts aligned with capital, technology, programmatic, and research priorities. A central focus will be advancing grateful patient fundraising and strengthening physician partnership across the region.
For a seasoned fundraising leader energized by complexity, scale, and measurable impact, this is an opportunity to help shape the next era of healthcare philanthropy in the Mountain West.
