Tribute Gifts
A meaningful and thoughtful way to remember a loved one or honor family, friends, and colleagues.
Make your tribute gift online (using a credit card) or through the mail (using the address above) and include the name of the person you want to remember, honor or thank. We will send an acknowledgement of your gift to the honoree or recipient you request.
Matching Gifts
Did you know that many companies match charitable gifts made by employees, retirees and directors? These gifts are counted toward the individual’s total giving to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. Donors need to complete the paperwork from the company’s human resources department and send it to the Foundation.
Sponsorship & Corporate Philanthropy
Wentworth-Douglass is incredibly fortunate to have loyal corporate donors. These donors see the value in philanthropic partnership with the Seacoast region’s leading medical center. Gifts from corporations are often used to help with special events, high-profile initiatives, and naming opportunities. Please contact Judy Pinkham at (603) 609-6678 or JPinkham@mgb.org to learn more.
Publicly Traded Securities/Wire Transfers
Stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares that have appreciated in value are a popular—and tax-advantaged—way to donate. The full market value of the publicly traded security is recognized for gift purposes, which allows donors to avoid potential capital gains taxes. Unless the Foundation’s Board of Directors determines that there is a reason to hold specific gifts of securities, all securities will be sold upon acceptance. The value of a gift of stock (for the donor’s income tax purposes) is based on the fair market value on the date of the donor’s gift.
Please contact Susan Chase, CFRE, Major Gifts Officer at schase8@mgb.org or 603-609-6161 ext. 4391 to obtain the transfer instructions for wire transfers and gifts of securities.
IRA Rollover
If you have Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA (If you are over 701/2) you can donate your distribution directly to the hospital tax free (Up to $100,000). This will reduce your overall tax burden. Contact the Foundation to learn more.
