Donor gifts are more than a welcome assistance, they are a crucial part of the financial equation that allows Charleston Area Medical Center to serve so many patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Gifts to the foundation also support important medical research advances and graduate medical education through the Camcare Institute. Gifts to the CAMC Foundation may be restricted to a particular area of interest to the donor or may be in support of the area of greatest need. Annually, gifts received support children's programs, medical education and research, the cancer program and cardiac services to name a few. Grant awards from the CAMC Foundation are approved twice annually through an appropriations process determined by the foundation's board of directors.
Grant applications are available online and upon request from the foundation.
Many donors ask that their gift be received as a memorial or honor gifts. Whether it is an honor gift for the nurse who made a difference in the care of a family member, or a memorial gift to remember someone special, the foundation will notify a family member with a note expressing the donor's kindness. Gift amounts are not disclosed. A simple giving form is available on-line, or you can call the foundation office to make your gift request. By making a tax-deductible gift to the CAMC Foundation you help provide quality care to each patient at Charleston Area Medical Center .
