Ways to give
Unrestricted Funds
These gifts provide flexibility to meet the most urgent needs of the medical
center. The donations are used wherever the need is greatest. Unrestricted
funds are utilized following approval by the medical center's leadership
and the foundation's board of directors.
Memorials and Honorariums
This is a wonderful way to remember and honor loved ones and friends. You
can memorialize someone special in your life while helping those in need.
Donations can be unrestricted, or can be given for a specific department,
area of need, or to a
designated fund.
Endowments and Major Gifts
An endowment is a simple, yet meaningful way, for a charitable organization
to grow and better serve its community. A donor makes a gift of an endowment.
The gift is then invested by the organization to generate annual income,
while the original contribution is preserved. That principal increases
its value through investment. Only a percentage of the endowment's
value is used annually to help fulfill the organization's mission.
Charitable Bequests
Bequests are financial gifts that are made through wills, and are a way
of providing long-term support to an organization. A provision is made
in your will or living trust that provides all or a portion of your estate
to pass on to a charitable organization. If you wish to establish a charitable
bequest, speak with an attorney to define the terms of your will or living trust.
Employee Giving Program
"Caring for Our Community" is the employee giving program at
Mile Bluff. It is a great way for employees to directly assist Mile Bluff
in carrying out its mission.

penny per search) to charities its users designate. Use it as you surf
the web and watch the donations add up! Be sure to enter Mile Bluff Medical
Center Foundation as the charity you would like to support.
