Care in our
community—
3 ways to
give a gift
A dollar amount with fewer than four
figures may seem like a drop in the bucket
when it comes to the health care needs of
a community. It’s certainly not enough to
finance a low-income clinic or buy a new
MRI machine.
Yet the fact is, the biggest source of
funds for such hospital projects is often in-
dividual donors. And many give relatively
small amounts—$100, $50 or $25.
The coordinator of these donations is
the hospital foundation. It provides a way
for anyone to contribute, no matter the
size of their gift.
There are a number of ways to give,
and it’s important to find the best fit for
you. Many people choose one of these
methods:
w w
An annual gift is a pledge to donate a
certain amount each year.
w w
A memorial gift is a donation in com-
memoration of a deceased person.
w w
A planned gift is an arrangement
to make a donation later; for example,
through a will or trust.
Your gift does make a difference. The
hospital foundation helps the hospital
care for those in need in the community as
government funding shrinks and the cost
of providing care continues to rise.
