WAYS OF GIVING

A gift to Pocono Health Foundation is a gift to your community, supporting the outstanding programs and services offered to the residents and visitors of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Northwestern New Jersey and beyond. There are many ways you can make a gift:

Legacy Gift - A legacy or planned gift is one in which the donor retains an interest and the remainder will be received by the Foundation at a future time. Remembering PMC in your will is a legacy gift, as are gift annuities and charitable trusts. Donors of legacy gifts become members of our Legacy for Tomorrow Circle and are honored annually at the President's Dinner. PHS is pleased to offer a Gift Annuity Program. For more information, please contact the Foundation Office.

Matching Gift - Many employers match gifts made to non-profit organizations by their employees. Such programs double (or sometimes triple) the size of your gift. Please be sure to take advantage of this program if your employer offers it.

Named Gift - To recognize major gifts made for specific Health System needs, special areas may be named in honor of the donor. Named gift opportunities are available in recognition of gifts of $5,000 and above.

Outright Gift - You may contribute an immediate gift using a personal check, cash or your credit card.Your gift may be designated to a particular program or where needed most.

Pledge - For those wishing to make a significant gift, we offer the flexibility of sending us your donations over a period of time, according to your needs. This is a popular option for gifts to the "Blueprint for the Future Campaign."

Real Estate and Personal Property Gifts - Both real estate and personal property can be accepted as gifts. A second home, vacation home or piece of undeveloped real estate make significant gifts, as do personal property such as artwork or jewelry.

Securities Gift - You may make an outright gift with your stocks, bonds, and/or mutual fund shares that have appreciated. This is an especially attractive option, as you enjoy significant tax savings by donating securities that you have held for at least one year.
