The Importance of Charitable Giving . . .
Your Contribution Will Help Us Help You

Huntington Hospital is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt institution. Unlike for-profit corporations, any excess of revenues over expenses is used by the hospital to upgrade its equipment and facilities. Despite diligent and skilled management, HMO's and managed care reimbursements in general have been so low that year-end operating margins are very slim. In order to continue to ensure that we keep abreast of medical technology and the latest equipment, we fund raise.

Many Giving Options . . . Each Helpful . . . Each Appreciated

Gifts of cash, appreciated assets, real estate, bequests, or gifts-in-kind (goods or services) help enhance patient care areas such as the Don Monti Cancer Center, Heart Center, Women's Health Center, the Intensive Care Unit, the Emergency Department, the Dolan Family Health Center, and many others.

The Donor Benefits of Charitable Giving

Reduce Your Taxes

If you itemize your deductions, charitable gifts at year-end can result in tax savings next spring. Your individual tax rate determines how much you will save, but generally, the higher your rate, the more you save from each dollar donated. Check with your tax advisor to maximize your benefit.

Gifts of Assets Reduce the Cost of Giving

In addition to the savings available through a charitable tax deduction, gifts of appreciated assets (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) that you have owned for at least one year affords you the opportunity to bypass capital gains taxes that would normally be due the IRS if you sold the assets.

Special rules apply to certain types of non-cash gifts such as real estate and tangible personal property (art, jewelry, etc.). Check with your tax advisor for details.

Plan Now…Give Later

Remember the hospital in your Will. It's easy, convenient, and constitutes a meaningful legacy. A Will ensures that your wishes are carried out and prevents the state from making decisions that may be contrary to your wants and needs. Consult your attorney for assistance.

Double Your Gift

A company that has a matching gifts program may employ you or your spouse. Check with the company's Human Resources Office for the appropriate forms.

You Decide How Your Gift Will Be Used

There are two types of gifts, the restricted gift and the unrestricted gift. The unrestricted gift allows the hospital to decide which patient care area would most benefit from your generosity. The restricted gift is where the donor directs their contribution to benefit a specific patient care area, the purchase of a piece of equipment, building project, or endowment.

Recognition

Hospital donors are valued and appreciated. There are various recognition vehicles depending on the size of your gift and its area of designation.

All gifts (with the permission of the donor) of $100 or more are recognized in the hospital's Annual Report published each April and distributed to over 100,000 households in Huntington and its surrounding communities. Gifts of $5,000 or more are recognized with the donor's name engraved on a plate and affixed to the Major Donor Wall located on the main floor of the hospital. Gifts are recognized cumulatively, meaning that all donors' giving is tracked annually. When the total giving reaches $5,000, they will be recognized on the Major Donor Wall. Some gifts have multiple recognitions.

Naming Opportunities

Rooms, units, wings, and buildings may be named. Naming opportunities begin with donations of $10,000.

The Annual Appeal

In November and December of each year, the hospital conducts its direct mail Annual Appeal. The community at large is asked to support the hospital with either a general or designated gift.
