Canton-Potsdam Hospital has been blessed with many generous friends. Their gifts have come to the Hospital in many ways.

OUTRIGHT GIFTS:  Gifts of cash, check, stock, or credit card are gratefully accepted.  We can also work with you to have your gift automatically deducted from your bank account.  These gifts immediately “go to work” for the Hospital.

The annual fund (also called the Linda Richards Society) supports the purchase of new equipment and the expansion of programs and services.  All members of the Linda Richards Society are included on a donor list, which changes annually, near the main entrance to the Hospital. 

Memorial gifts are a unique way you can honor the memory of special person.  Those for whom we have received more than $100 in memorial donations are permanently listed in a display near the main entrance to the Hospital.

Matching gifts – many companies match charitable gifts made by employees, retirees, and directors.  We encourage you to enquire whether your company will do the same.

PLANNED GIFTS:  Any gift that you decide to give now, but that we do not actually receive until some time in the future, is a “planned gift.”  The simplest to make, and by far the most common, is a bequest in your will.  If you already have a will in effect, a simple codicil may be added to include the Hospital Foundation.

Other types of planned or deferred gifts may give you special income and/or tax advantages.  They can play a valuable role in strengthening your own long-term financial health, while enabling you to leave a lasting legacy that would perhaps not otherwise be affordable.  We would be happy to work with you and your attorney or financial advisor on a charitable gift annuity, trust, or gift of life insurance.

For more information on any of these ways to give, please contact the Foundation by calling 261-5410, or emailing foundation@cphospital.org.
