Ways to Give

Our Foundation relies on private and corporate gifts. Managed by the Foundation Board, donations are directed to Brookings Health System's greatest areas of need. Gifts may be made once or may be part of a planned legacy. We also recognize gifts according to their level.

One-Time Gift

Give a single gift to support one of our causes that is a priority for Brookings Health System. 

Memorial Gift

Honor the memory of a loved one or show appreciation for a special caregiver through a memorial gift. Our grateful patient program, MyThanks Matters, offers a meaningful way to celebrate and remember those who have made a significant impact on your life. Gifts can be made online or via cash or check, and each contribution supports our ongoing efforts to provide exceptional care and services. By making a memorial gift, you not only pay tribute to those you cherish but also help us continue our mission of compassionate care.

Endowment

Create a lasting impact on Brookings Health System by establishing an endowment. By contributing to an endowment fund, you support the areas you care about and ensure ongoing benefits for years to come. Whether you choose to fund scholarships, provide financial support for critical needs, or support other initiatives aligned with your values, your endowment will make a meaningful difference in the lives of future generations. Work with our foundation director to design an endowment that reflects your personal goals and philanthropic passions.

Planned Estate Gifts

A planned estate gift is a powerful way to support Brookings Health System and ensure your legacy lives on. Here are some key benefits of making a planned estate gift:

  • Tax Advantages: You might avoid capital gains and other taxes on appreciated assets, and you could benefit from charitable income tax deductions.
  • Customized Impact: You can specify how your gift will be used, ensuring it supports the causes that matter most to you.
  • Clear Asset Distribution: By planning ahead, you can clarify how your assets are distributed, preventing accidental disinheritance and ensuring your wishes are fulfilled.
  • Secure the Future: Your gift will help secure the future of Brookings Health System, enabling us to continue providing high-quality care and services.
  • Honoring Your Values: Your legacy will honor your life’s work and values, leaving a lasting mark on our community and the lives we touch.
