SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION Philanthropic support is allocated in two areas: capital financing (construction), and for operating deficits that hospitals may experience. The American Association of Fund Raising Counsels, Inc. has estimated that the total philanthropic givings to hospitals in 1961 were $742 million. How allocated? The AAFRC further estimated that of the $812 million spent on new construction in 1961 (capital financing), approximately $477 million or 58 percent of this total came largely from gifts. It also stated that religious organizations allocated approximately $150 million for the support of hospitals in 1960. These $150 million were primarily allocated for the support of church-supported hospitals, clinics and other medical services. United Community Fund A spokesman from the Chicago Community Fund said that the United Community Fund and Council of America alocated approximately $20,921,000 in 1961 for the support of hospitals and clinics. For the most part these moneys were allocated to offset an operating deficit. Hospital construction, financing, 1920–64 The total volume of hospital construction increased in 1961 more than 15 percent above the general level maintained during the previous 3 years and is now at an unprecedented annual volume of $1,157 million. Total Federal funds (direct Federal and Hill-Burton aid) amounted in 1961 to $220 million, or $8 million more than in 1960.
