Friends of St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation: Ways to Give

Gifts to the Friends of St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation may be in cash, check, money order, payroll deduction (see your company personnel officer), stocks, bonds, or gifts of property. Insurance, trusts, will and memorials are also excellent methods of giving.

There are a number of programs are available to fit your personal desires and ability to give.

Endowment Fund
A gift to the Endowment is added to all other gifts in this fund, and will continue to benefit the hospital for the foreseeable future. Only the interest earned on Endowment gifts is used. As the Endowment grows, more money is available each year for support of hospital programs.

Our endowment fund was recently enlarged by nearly a half-million dollars following the Lambeau Field Inaugural Ball. A benefit for St. Mary’s, this once-in-a-lifetime event was truly memorable.

Special Purpose Gifts
Special purpose gifts are directed for use by a specific department or program of the hospital. For example, you may direct your gift for use in the purchase of educational materials, or for equipment, or for the gerontology program. Many gifts are also designated for A Woman’s Place. Our “ Toast of the Town” parties have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support this community resource for women and families.

Memorials
Gifts may always be made in memory of a family member or friend. The gift may be designated for a specific department or the hospital Endowment Fund. A very special memorial was made in honor of Michael Barnard by his family to help us build the St. Mary’s Hospital Prayer Garden. Loved ones are remembered during special liturgies in the St. Mary’s Hospital Chapel. We also offer personally signed tiles as memorials.

Planned Giving Programs
A number of planned giving programs are available, including a Pooled Income Fund, Charitable Trusts, and Life Insurance programs. We recommend you visit your personal financial counselor when considering these gifts.

Cornerstones
“Cornerstones” is a special program for individuals who have informed the Friends of St. Mary’s Hospital that the Hospital is a benefactor in their will. Cornerstone members receive recognition on a special plaque in the hospital lobby.
