Gifts to the Helen Hayes Hospital Foundation have included artwork, stock, annuities, copyright residuals, retirement benefits and bequest in wills. All gifts are used to perpetuate the hospital’s tradition of excellence.

Unrestricted Gifts enable the Foundation to direct the donor’s contribution to the hospital’s most pressing needs. Thanks For Giving/The Founder’s Fund is an annual appeal designed to facilitate these gifts.

Restricted Gifts can be designated by the donor to a specific clinical program or service at the rehabilitation hospital.

Planned Gifts include naming the Foundation as a beneficiary in a will, trust or other estate or tax plan. Individuals who make a planned gift are eligible for membership in the Helen Hayes Hospital Heritage Society, which gives special recognition for their support.

The individual(s) being honored or the family of those being remembered is notified of the generous gift in their names(s) with a specially designed note card. All donation amounts are kept confidential unless otherwise specified.

Matching Gifts provide the donor with a way of increasing their support by having their employer match the gift. Many corporations have matching gift policies, which they encourage their employees to take advantage of. Please check with your human resource representative for details about your company’s policy.
