Tribute and Memorial Gifts

The Foundation gratefully accepts gifts made in honor or memory of a cherished family member, friend, coworker, or caregiver. Learn more about Honoring Someone Special. 

Stocks and Bonds

Gifts of marketable securities can offer donors significant tax advantages. In most cases, the full market value of the security can be deducted as a charitable contribution. For more information on making a gift of stocks or bonds, contact us. 

IRA Charitable Rollover

Newly enacted legislation allows individuals age 70 1/2 or older to make tax-free gifts totaling up to $100,000 from a traditional IRA account directly to St. Joseph's Medical Center.  Contact us to learn more about these tax-free transfers.

Personal Property

For instance, some organizations donate auction items or services to our events each year.  Contact us to find out what types of gifts in kind are currently needed.
