COMMUNITY
Our foundation
is crucial to the
success of our hospital. Many people have
questions about the foundation and what
it does. Carl Barker, Chairman of Jackson
Hospital Foundation, answers some of the
most common questions we receive:
WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION?
ANSWER:
You can think of the founda-
tion as the fundraising arm of the hospi-
tal. It helps obtain the financial resources
we need to accomplish our mission.
HOW DOES THE FOUNDATION
BENEFIT THE HOSPITAL?
ANSWER:
The costs of providing
high-quality medical care are high. The
foundation raises philanthropic dollars
to ensure the hospital acquires needed
medical equipment and has a modern
healing environment for our patients.
Several new projects on the horizon will
depend on foundation support.
HOW DOES THE FOUNDATION
RAISE FUNDS?
ANSWER:
The foundation has an annual
giving program for individuals called
The
Touchstone Society
with various mem-
bership levels.
Corporate Partners in
Health
channels support from businesses
while providing participation in one of
several special fundraising events.
HOW CAN I GIVE TO THE
FOUNDATION?
ANSWER:
There are many options. For
instance, you can make a tax-deductible
cash donation, either as a one-time gift
or on a recurring basis. If you’d like, these
donations may be made in honor or in
memory of a loved one. Planned giving
that includes gifts of stocks or bonds, real
estate, retirement assets, and life insur-
ance policies is also possible.
CAN A SMALL GIFT MAKE A
DIFFERENCE?
ANSWER:
Gifts of all sizes help sup-
port the work of the hospital. They are
happily accepted and essential to the
hospital’s work.
IS MY DONATION TAX-
DEDUCTIBLE?
ANSWER:
We operate as a nonprofit.
This means your donations are tax-
deductible to the extent allowed by law.
