A charitable deduction is taken in each year that a cash payment is made. Checks should be made payable to the JTM Foundation. Cash gifts can be charged to your Visa, Mastercard or American Express credit cards and can be submitted directly to the Hospital by postal mail or electronically using our Secure Online Donation Form . Information submitted on the form is encrypted to insure that your credit card information remains safe and secure during transmission to the hospital. Mather Hospital employees will have the opportunity to participate in the campaign through the convenience of payroll deduction.
Many companies match gifts to non-profit hospitals by an employee, officer or director.
In some cases, the match is greater than one to one. For outright gifts of appreciated long-term securities, the deduction is equal to the fair market value of the securities on the date the donor relinquishes control of the assets to Mather. Gifting the actual securities, rather than the proceeds of a sale, allows the donor to avoid payment of the capital gains tax. An immediate charitable deduction is available to the donor, the amount of which depends on the arrangement. Gifts may be in the form of a paid up policy, a policy not fully paid up, or Mather Hospital may be designated as the owner and beneficiary of a new policy.
