To express your admiration and love for a loved one or friend, or to remember someone who has passed away, you may make a memorial or tribute gift to Donalsonville Hospital.

There are many special occasions to remember those we admire and love - Mother's and Father's Day, graduations, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. There also are times of sorrow when we lose a loved one or friend.

A memorial or tribute gift is not only a thoughtful remembrance, but it will also help to ensure excellent choices in health care and the ongoing development of innovative programs and services that will be available to you, your family and your neighbors should the need ever arise.

Planned giving may take the form of bequests and annuities. It could involve naming Donalsonville Hospital in your will or perhaps making the hospital a beneficiary of your retirement plan. Whatever your gift, please know it will be greatly treasured and sincerely appreciated.

Planned gifts - so named because of the thoughtful planning that tends to accompany then - can take a number of different forms. Many of these gifts allow both you and Donalsonville Hospital to benefit at the same time.

Building a strong endowment is one of the most critical steps an organization can take to help see it through these challenging times. Endowments provide a permanent source of funding for a myriad of health care needs and can stabilize the flow of resources in volatile times. Endowment gifts are invested by Donalsonville Hospital in support of changing health care needs from sponsored care to new technology to new facilities.

An endowment fund operates in perpetuity. Only a portion of the earnings on the original gift may be spent each year, according to the endowment spending policy.
