There are many ways of giving to the Tri-City Hospital Foundation. Whether you choose to give on a current or future basis, a large or small amount, one-time or ongoing, we appreciate and value your participation and support.

We understand that making a gift is a very personal decision. The Foundation exists to assist you in finding a means of supporting Tri-City Medical Center in a way this is gratifying and economically practical for you. Many times a gift can provide substantial tax or other benefits. We will be glad to discuss these options with you.

Many people find that their employers offer a matching gift program, which can effectively double your philanthropic contribution. Please ask your employer, and encourage their participation.

Among the ways of giving to the Tri-City Hospital Foundation are:

Outright gift of cash

A gift of cash can be made at any time, in any amount, on either a one-time or regular basis. Please consider making a gift of cash.

Gift of appreciated assets

You can make a gift of appreciated securities or real estate, which often provides a significant tax savings to you and more realized dollars to the Foundation. You receive a tax deduction for the current market value of security or real estate, while avoiding payment of capital gains tax.

Planned gifts

There are a wide variety of ways to provide a gift to the Tri-City. In some cases, gifts can be made that will yield income now and in the future to you or someone you designate. Planned gifts can include charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, and many other arrangements, each of which has specific advantages that may be pertinent to your circumstances. The Foundation can provide you professional advice.

Bequests

Opting to provide a gift to the Tri-City Hospital Foundation as part of your estate planning enables you to help your community using resources that were not needed during your lifetime. Gifts can be made through an addition to your will, or a trust arrangement.

Tribute gift

A gift to the Foundation is an appropriate and meaningful way to say "thank you" for the special efforts of a doctor or nurse who was part of your team at Tri-City Medical Center. It is also a thoughtful way of honoring birthdays, anniversaries, births, or to remember a loved one by making a memorial gift.
