GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

Giving to the TRUST is an important decision, and we understand that reasons for giving and the financial ability to do so vary greatly among donors. You may wish to help immediately or perhaps in the future. You might decide to help where it's needed most or prefer to designate your gift to benefit a specific fund, department or program. You may be a financially savvy donor looking to maximize your income stream with a charitable contribution. Regardless of your choice, there are a number of giving opportunities with the TRUST that can accommodate your preference. All gifts to the TRUST are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

If you want to help McCullough-Hyde NOW and where it's NEEDED MOST, give an unrestricted gift. All unrestricted gifts go to the General Fund, which provides funding for McCullough-Hyde’s immediate needs. The General Fund primarily supports equipment purchases, physician recruitment and staff education. To learn more about current equipment needs click here.

If you want to designate your gift to a specific cause, give a restricted gift.You may restrict your gift to a hospital department or fund of your choice. Gifts directed to a department, such as Cardiac Rehab, allow you to help immediately AND support a specific need, as they are used within one year of receipt. There are several funds targeted toward specific needs from which you can choose. For a complete list of TRUST funds you can support, click here.

This is a great way to double your charitable efforts. A third party, usually your employer, agrees to match the amount of your gift. By matching the dollar amount, your initial gift is now twice as helpful. Check with your employer to see if they offer matching gifts and request a matching gift form. Send the completed form and your portion of the gift to the TRUST, and we’ll complete the process.

Making a pledge gives you the benefit of making payments over time. Sometimes a pledge allows donors to give more than they would have otherwise been able to afford, because the payments are spread out over time. Credit cards are a popular pledge payment method among our donors.

Looking for a way to maximize your giving and be conscientious about your financial and tax planning? In addition to benefiting the TRUST, a planned gift can produce an annual income while still qualifying as a charitable deduction. This option also allows you to leave a legacy to future generations, knowing your gift will continue to give after you’re gone. With the ability to produce annual income and still qualify for tax deductions, planned giving is an excellent option for those financially conscious donors. The most common means of planned giving are through bequests (wills), charitable annuities, charitable remainder trusts and life insurance policies.

• A bequest is a statement in your will designating a dollar amount or percentage of finances to a specified party. An example of a bequest to the TRUST in your will could read as:
  
  “I give the sum of $_________, (or _______% of the remainder of my estate), to the McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital TRUST of Oxford, Ohio or its lawful successor.”
  
  You can also specify a purpose for your bequest, such as continuing education for staff or placement into a specific TRUST fund. Some donors choose to give a percentage, rather than a dollar amount, to avoid updating their wills as finances can change over time.



• A charitable gift annuity is a gift, typically cash or stock, set up to provide you with an annual, fixed income. Aside from the standard charitable tax deduction, the income you receive from your annuity is tax-free.



• Listing the TRUST as a beneficiary in your life insurance policy may also provide substantial tax advantages. You can list the TRUST on your existing policy or create a new one listing the TRUST as your sole beneficiary.



• There are a number of other planned gifts that are also available. If you are interested in one of the more sophisticated planned gifts, such as a charitable remainder trust, please Contact Us to discuss those options.

Major Gifts

If you wish to make a significant impact on McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital and are in the financial position to do so, you may wish to make a major gift.

This one-time opportunity can give donors the ability to establish a fund within the TRUST, or name a room, treatment area or equipment item. All donors contributing a major gift will have their name(s) listed permanently on our donor wall in the hospital, and may qualify for special recognition.

Major gifts begin at $10,000. Donors making gifts between $25,000 and $50,000 are given the opportunity to establish a fund, and gifts of $50,000+ give donors the opportunity to name a room, treatment area or special equipment item.

Many of us have someone special who has made a positive impact in our lives. Giving a gift in honor or in memory of that special someone is a wonderful way to express your gratitude for their presence in your life.

By making a single gift of $1000 or more you can list your special someone on the Memorial & Honor Wall. If you prefer to make a smaller gift in memory or in honor of someone, their name will be listed in the Annual Donor Report for the year the gift was given.

Another way to pay tribute to those special people who’ve made an impact in your life is with an engraved paver brick. The Hospital Garden features a pathway that winds through lush greenery, shade trees, flowers and a naturalized waterfall. The pathway is paved with two sizes of bricks that can be engraved with a special message and/or name for either $100 or $150, depending on the size of the brick purchased.
