Ways to Give

We work to provide ways for you to contribute to Stoughton Hospital programs and services most meaningful to you.

If you are interested in making a gift you may wish to consider one of the following options:

• Angels Who Care - Recognition of Compassionate Care & Excellent Service
  Our Angels Who Care Program provides grateful patients and their family members a heart felt way to recognize those special caregivers(nurses, doctors, staff, volunteers) for their commitment to providing outstanding patient care. Through the program, patients and family members make a tribute contribution in their caregiver’s name to support Stoughton Hospital in its mission.

• An endowment gift can provide long-term support to Stoughton Hospital. A "Keeping Your Legacy Close to Home" gift invests in future care through a bequest in a will, a charitable gift annuity or trust, or life insurance. Click here to learn more about planned gifts.
  
  
• A "Circle of Friends" gift is an annual donation to support the efforts of the Foundation for ongoing support of Stoughton Hospital.  Click here to learn more about our Circle of Friends program.
  
  
• Memorial/Honorarium Gifts
  Showing people how much you care is an important part of life.  By making a memorial/honorarium gift, you can touch friends and family while helping to improve the health of others in our community.  Gifts can be made to honor the memory of a love one, friend or co-worker.  Gifts may also be given to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, the birth of a child or other important milestones.

Gifts to Consider

Many people hope to leave marks on their communities to help make them better places.  You can make a difference through a gift to Stoughton Hospital Foundation that takes into consideration your personal circumstances and the needs of your heirs.

Look below to learn more about the assets most commonly used to fund a gift:

• Gifts of Cash
  Making an outright gift of gratitude is as simple as writing a check or authorizing a charge on your credit card. It's easy and convenient.
  
  
• Gifts of Securities
  Stock that has increased in value is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving, once it has been held for a minimum of a year.  Making a gift of stock to us offers you the chance to help our organization while realizing many important benefits for yourself.
  
  
• Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets
  If you’re like many others, your financial future will likely depend on your retirement plan assets.  To maximize the value of a retirement account, consider making a lifetime gift of its after-tax values to a tax-exempt deferred giving plan.
  
  
• Gifts of Savings Bonds
  Savings bonds—likely the nation’s most widely held appreciated asset—represent major assets that may have stopped growing and are now collecting dust, just waiting to be put to use.  A tax-wise use for your appreciated savings bonds is to support a cause you care about.
  
  
• Gifts of Real Estate
  Using real estate, such as your house, farm or commercial property to fund a gift allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive significant tax and income advantages, and make a larger charitable gift than anticipated.
  
  
• Gifts of Life Insurance
  Donating an old life insurance policy you no longer need, could be a wonderful way to fulfill your desire to support our organization.  By making Stoughton Hospital Foundation the beneficiary of an matured policy, you receive a tax deduction for the value of the policy or the net premiums paid on the policy, whichever is less.  You can also take out a new policy or gift an existing policy on which payments are still being made.  Your premium payments may be deducted as gifts each year. 
  
  
• Bequests
  The most common planned gift is a bequest in a will.  This bequest can be a dollar amount or stated as a percentage of the estate.  This gift avoids probate on the amount gifted to charity, which can have positive tax consequences for loved ones who also receive bequests.
  
  
• Charitable Remainder Trust
  This extraordinary plan offers you income for a period of years or your lifetime.  Then after your death our organization, as the beneficiary, receives the remainder of the principal in the trust.
