Have you thought about making a significant philanthropic gift that can save lives and give you something in return? Do you want to make a contribution without using your current assets?
Planning a gift carefully can be as important to you as the gift is to us. Tax considerations are seldom the primary motive in philanthropy. However, tax consequences often play a role in determining how your gift should be made and the level of your gift.
You can accomplish these goals by making a deferred gift in support of Northridge Hospital Medical Center. In addition to creating long-term health care benefits for your community, you may also achieve substantial tax benefits.
We will be pleased to answer any questions you might have in this regard. In addition, we encourage you to consult your own legal and financial advisors to receive professional advice concerning various tax and other financial considerations. Options for giving include cash, securities, real estate, and matching gifts from your employer.
Grateful Patient Program
Caregivers play an increasingly important role in patient fundraising, as gifts are often made in honor of physicians, nurses and other patient care staff. Patients or their families can make a gift to Northridge Hospital Foundation’s Grateful Patient Program as a way of saying “thank you” to the people who were there when they needed them the most—their doctors, nurses, therapists, or any member of the healthcare team that has provided exceptional care.
A cash gift by check is the most common method of making a charitable contribution even though a comparison with other methods shows this is not necessarily the most cost-effective option. A cash gift gives you income tax savings and gives immediate financial support.
E-Giving
Our E-Giving website is now up and running! You can make your charitable donations online with your credit card. This is a secure website so you don’t have to worry about using your credit card number online.
Cash Gift by Check or Credit Card
Once you enter the registration information, you will proceed to another page where you can make an online designation of your gift. You can designate to any of ten specific hospital departments listed, such as Cancer, Rehab, or Heart.
You can also honor a special physician or employee to say thank you for the care you or a loved one received while at the hospital. Many people choose a memorial gift which honors the life of a family member or friend. If you would like to make a donation, but are not sure who or what to designate, you can select the area of greatest need at the hospital.
If you would like a confidential discussion of giving options, please call Northridge Hospital Foundation at (818) 885-5341.
