We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Legacy Health Foundation (LHF) was incorporated on August 21, 2013. The mission of the foundation is to foster charitable giving as well as community commitment and involvement to support the founding principles, mission and vision of Legacy Health and promote the health and well-being of the community. Legacy Health is the sole corporate member of LHF.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Legacy Health Foundation's mission is to foster charitable giving as well as community commitment and involvement to support the founding principles, mission and vision of legacy health and promote the health and well-being of the community.

  • At Legacy Health, we know that our legacy is something we create together every day. This is reflected in our mission of good health for our people, our patients, our communities and our world. We see it as our fundamental responsibility to improve the health and wellness of everyone we touch, empowering people to live healthier and better lives, and helping them create a legacy that truly lives on. Ours is a legacy of health and community, quality and innovation, respect and responsibility.Legacy Health was created in 1989 through the merger of HealthLink, a local four-hospital system, and Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center. Over the years Legacy has grown into the largest nonprofit, community-owned health system in the Portland/Vancouver area. Today, Legacy Health consists of an integrated network of six full-service hospitals and more than 50 clinics. The Legacy network provides acute and critical care, inpatient and outpatient treatment, urgent and primary care, and a variety of specialty services. At the heart of Legacys mission is our commitment to provide exceptional healthcare for all those in need. Legacy provides almost one-third of the charity care in the Portland area; more charity care relative to size than any of the leading health care organizations in the metropolitan area. The Legacy Health Foundation fosters charitable giving as well as community commitment and involvement to support the founding principles, mission and vision of Legacy Health and promote the health and well-being of the community. Charitable gifts to Legacy Health Foundation support the programs and services of Legacy Health, many of which are not supported by traditional means of reimbursement. The Foundation also raises and stewards funds for Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center, and the Unity Center for Behavioral Health.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
