Why Give?
As the need for healthcare grows ever stronger, the resources needed to provide it has grown more limited due to reduced reimbursements, workforce shortages and an aging population.
Fulfillment of Columbus Community Hospital's commitment to serve the community requires tremendous resources. Fundraising and gifts to the hospital help provide the resources needed for Columbus Community Hospital to continue with quality healthcare now and for years to come.
Cash
You can contribute by check, credit card or electronic fund transfer. Please make checks payable to CCH Foundation.
Memorials
Given in memory of a loved one, memorial gifts are an appropriate expression of your sympathy to grieving families.
Tribute Gifts
A tribute gift is also a wonderful way to share some of the joy in life, such as an anniversary, birthday, retirement or new birth.
Endowment Funds
Funds contributed to the endowment are invested and the return on the investment will be used to provide for the needs of the hospital. The original funds will never be spent.
Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities may offer substantial tax advantages. They include avoidance of the tax on capital gain and an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities.
Real Estate
A residence, farm, forest land, or any other real property may be given to the CCH Foundation as an outright gift.
Life Insurance Endowment Program
The gift of a life insurance policy to the CCH Foundation provides the donor with a charitable contribution for the present cash surrender value, contributions made for premiums paid after the transfer are also tax deductible.
Will
By remembering Columbus Community Hospital Foundation with a bequest in your will, you can positively impact your community's healthcare in a way that extends beyond your lifetime. Your bequest will qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction. When making a bequest we urge you to consult with your attorney or tax advisor.
Employer Matching Gift Program
