Monthly Giving Program

If you are a supporter who contributes faithfully every year or responds to more than one appeal a year, this is the program for you. The Monthly Giving Program is a cost-effective, time-efficient way to give to the Western Regional Hospital Foundation. Instead of making a donation in one lump sum, you can spread your payments out over 12 months.

Payments can be made by credit card. No more mailings. No more postage.

If you would like to take advantage of this program, please call (709) 637-5353 for more information.

Tribute Gifts / In-Memoriam Gifts / Occasion Cards

Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to make a donation in the name of friends, or family members. They "In Honour" donations celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or another special occasion.  We will send the “honoree” a card acknowledging your donation in honour of their special day.

Tribute gifts also include "in memory" donations, which honour the deceased and their family with a lasting and meaningful contribution.

To make a tribute or an "In Memoriam" gift, please call (709) 637-5353 for more information. 

Planned Gifts

Most people would like to be remembered for contributing to their community. It is possible to arrange your financial affairs so that you can take care of the needs of your family as well as make a lasting contribution to the Western Regional Hospital Foundation. Planned Giving is a creative approach to charitable giving that benefits you, as well as the Foundation. The following are some of the Planned Giving options available:

• Bequests
  Your Will provides you with the opportunity to leave a lump sum or percentage of your estate to the Western Regional Hospital Foundation. Naming the Foundation ensures the values and interests that are most dear to you continue to flourish after you are gone. A receipt will be issued to offset estate taxes and taxes arising from capital gains.
• Annuity
  An annuity is a unique way to contribute that allows you to receive income for the rest of your life. You may also be eligible for a sizeable tax credit. You may consider transferring stocks or bonds to be used for a designated purpose. You or a family member will still receive the annual interest as well as an immediate receipt based on the value of your gift.
• Life Insurance
  You can take out a life insurance policy with the Western Regional Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary. You pay a small annual premium, but your eventual gift is significant. Tax receipts are issued for all premiums paid. You can also donate an existing policy that is no longer needed and receive an immediate tax receipt for the current cash value of the policy.
• Gifts-in-Kind
  Gifts-in-kind involve the donation of property, goods or services instead of cash. The Western Regional Hospital Foundation issues tax receipts for the fair market value of most gifts of goods, but not for services.
• Endowment Fund
  An endowment fund is an irrevocable donation that provides income in perpetuity and can be restricted to fund a specific purpose. Endowment funds are a permanently restricted net asset, the principal of which is protected and the income from which may be reinvested or spent depending on the donor's wishes.
