Your generous contribution today will help build a healthy tomorrow for all of us. Tribute Gifts Donations to the Foundation can be made in honor or in memory of any person you specify. While tribute gifts are frequently mentioned as a preference in funeral notices, they are also often used to honor living designees. Most gifts to the Foundation fall in this category, with no conditions set on how they will be used. Unrestricted gifts can be used wherever the need is greatest.
Some donors wish to contribute to a specific department, program or equipment purchase.
For example, some gifts are designated for Critical Care, Hospice, Home Care or Community Health Outreach, which provides care for the medically underserved. A restricted gift allows you to specify how your donation will be used. When gifts are made to the Endowment Fund, the gift principal is maintained in perpetuity and invested to create income for the hospital. Income from gifts to the Endowment Fund can be restricted to specified purposes or added to the Foundation's unrestricted funds. You can obtain substantial tax benefits and income enhancement opportunities during your lifetime by making a gift of stocks, property, or other appreciated assets using a variety of estate planning tools.
