Ways to Give

A Tribute or Memorial gift is a generous and thoughtful way of honoring the memory and accomplishments of a loved one or recognizing and commemorating a special person or occasion.

These tributes and memorials not only recognize loved ones, but they also provide for the community by ensuring the continuation of quality health care services at Wise Health System. Gifts of all sizes are welcome.

When you make a tribute or memorial gift to the Wise Health Foundation, we will promptly notify the honoree or next of kin. Unless requested, the notification will not include the amount of the gift.

To make a tribute or memorial gift, send your gift with a note specifying the honoree’s name, the address of the honoree or next of kin. Please indicate if you want the gift to go toward a specific purpose.

A Naming Grant is an excellent way to remember and honor a loved one who has passed away, to recognize a special person, or to let your own name be a permanent fixture at Wise Health System.

You can have rooms, departments, or even the hospital building named after the person, family, or company you purchase the naming grant for if you donate the set amount for that specific area.

Naming grants also make great gifts that will never be forgotten. With a naming grant, you or your loved ones will be forever honored and remembered.

Gifts of cash, checks, and credit card payments are welcome in all sizes and are tax deductible.

Donors who make an outright gift of an appreciated asset, such as real estate or securities, are able to avoid the capital gains tax that the donor would pay if the asset were sold. In addition, the donor can receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the asset if the donor has owned it for more than one year.

Pledges are a form of cash donation that may be paid over several years. You decide how much you want to donate and for how many years.

For instance, you may choose to make a gift $15,000 to the Wise Health Foundation by paying $3,000 a year for five years. You will be asked to complete a gift agreement stating the form, schedule, and purpose of your gift.

Your company can play an important part of shaping the future of healthcare in our community. By making a gift to the Wise Health Foundation, companies can gain exposure and give back to the communities that support their business.

Corporate support comes in two forms: Gifts and Sponsorships. Corporate gifts are simply cash donations, whereas sponsorships are donations of cash, services, or goods made to the Wise Health Foundation to help cover the costs for specific fundraisers or events.

With good planning, you can make a future gift that advances your charitable and financial goals as well as advance the health of others.

You can include Wise Health Foundation in your will or financial plans using any of the following methods: Real Estate, Bypass Trust, Life Estates, Life Insurance, Charitable Remainder Trust.
