Ways to Give & Planned Giving
Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation gratefully accepts gifts to support Saint Joseph Hospital’s mission. No gift is too small, and your gift will be used for the project or program you choose. Your contributions are tax deductible, and you will receive a letter of acknowledgment for tax purposes. Donors are publicly recognized in a number of ways. Donors of recent gifts are highlighted in each quarterly edition of Foundation Focus and the Annual Report recognizes all who contribute each year. In addition, significant donor names are engraved on plaques. The plaques are displayed in areas frequented by visitors throughout the hospital.
As you contemplate charitable plans, you want to be sure that your favorite charity benefits to the highest degree possible. The question becomes: is it better to give more now or to wait? Deferred giving, such as a bequest or charitable trust, is one of several opportunities to contribute to Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation. It allows for immediate tax and estate planning benefits. A deferred gift is an attractive vehicle for donors who need the ongoing income from those assets or trusts. If a deferred gift does not meet your needs, consider the benefits of greater giving now. Professional planning allows you to make a larger gift now and witness the impact of your gift during your lifetime.
Contributions are tax deductible and all contributions are officially acknowledged by the Foundation. In addition to gifts of cash, donors may provide support to the Foundation and personally benefit from their contributions in other ways. We would be pleased to talk with you about the many choices to give.
