Charitable gifting is very personal. It is also very powerful.
Charitable gifts have been used to establish loving memorials. They have been a way that donors could extend a “thank you” for a particular type of health service received in years past. They have even been a means to give back and help the community advance with new technology and services.
At SMC, gifts from individuals and families have helped patients, family, and staff alike by providing furniture, equipment, funds for support programs, building improvements, new construction and even therapeutic landscaping.
Charitable gifts have been received by the hospital in the form of cash donations. Donors have also chosen to contribute marketable securities, appreciated properties, life insurances, charitable trusts, gift annuities, bequests and other types of planned giving gifts that may have met individual tax situations, and in many instances allowed for an individual to make a larger gift than originally thought possible.
All charitable gifts to SMC are acknowledged through the Saunders Medical Foundation., the foundation works closely with administration and staff to remain current with the needs of the hospital and identify gifting opportunities for prospective donors.
The following are some of the opportunities that are available for personal gifting at Saunders Medical Center:
- Building Fund
