As a not-for-profit organization, private gifts to Woman’s Hospital Foundation make the difference between exceptional care and extraordinary care. And the same principles of management and fund stewardship that characterize our everyday financial management are applied to charitable donations. These donations, investments in women, children and families of our community, allow for the enhancement and expansion of programs beyond our core medical services. Expanded services – including research efforts whose support requires matching funds, educational and outreach efforts, such as our van-based mobile mammography clinic, day-care initiatives to help teen mothers complete high school, car seat safety programs and much more – rely on community support to ensure their continuation despite constantly expanding needs for core medical care. Donations also play a crucial role as a source of endowment support. An endowment – in which the interest and investment income earned by a principal amount is committed to specific programs, resources and initiatives – provides a secure source of funding, in perpetuity, for these needs. Endowment can often provide opportunity for donors to make naming contributions that indefinitely honor loved ones, helping to make an lasting contribution to the health and well-being of patients and their families at Woman’s Hospital.To make a donation online, click here.
