Your Campaign Gift
The scope of this project is so critically important to our community that the John Muir Health Foundation is seeking private support to enhance the substantial investment being made by John Muir Health. Philanthropic contributions keep the organization strong as it grows, and your commitment shows that you care about the quality of healthcare in our community. 100% of all contributions to the Capital Campaign directly support the building expansion projects. The information provided here illustrates some of the ways that you can invest significantly in the Campaign.
CASH:
Gifts may be made by check or credit card payable to:
John Muir Health Foundation
1400 Treat Boulevard
2nd Floor
Walnut Creek, CA 94597
(925) 947-4449
Online gifts may also be made here.
PLEDGE: Donors are encouraged to make a pledge over a period of up to five years, which may make a more significant gift possible. A pledge also provides the John Muir Health Foundation with a specific schedule of gifts, ensuring a predictable and solid base of support throughout the Campaign.
SECURITIES: The John Muir Health Foundation accepts gifts of bonds, publicly traded stocks, and closely held stock. A gift of appreciated securities avoids payment of any capital gains tax and provides a deduction to the donor for the fair-market value of the securities.
REAL PROPERTY: Gifts of real property have many of the same tax benefits as gifts of securities. Property with an outstanding mortgage may be handled slightly differently due to potential tax consequences to the donor. The Foundation will conduct a review of the property before accepting a gift of real property. This review includes a comprehensive environmental audit to demonstrate due diligence and care in accepting the property.
MATCHING GIFTS: Many corporations will match the philanthropic contributions of their employees and other eligible individuals (officer, board member, retiree, spouse) to not-for-profit healthcare organizations making it possible to double or even triple the value of your gift. To find out if your employer has a matching gift program, consult your Human Resources department.
PLANNED GIFTS: Planned gifts may be included in the Capital Campaign. Please contact the Foundation for more detailed information. These gifts can include testamentary pledges, charitable trusts, annuities, retirement and life insurance designations, and gifts of real estate. These gifts are a great estate planning tool, and may provide significant tax benefits and income opportunities for the donor.
NAMED GIFT OPPORTUNITIES: A named gift opportunity provides a way to recognize donors who make significant contributions to the Capital Campaign. Donors who qualify will be honored with the option to assign, in perpetuity, their name to a room, department or clinical service area, at the campus of their choice. These leadership gifts convey a strong message to the community that individuals, businesses, organizations, and foundations support John Muir Health's effort to provide the highest quality healthcare to the community now and in the future. Named gift opportunities are available for gifts of $25,000 or more.
GIFT DESIGNATION: Gifts to the Capital Campaign may be designated by the donor to:
- John Muir Medical Center, Concord Campus
- John Muir Medical Center, Walnut Creek Campus
- both campuses
- the overall Campaign with no campus designation
GIFT ACKNOWLEDGMENT: John Muir Health Foundation will acknowledge all Campaign gifts and pledges. Donors should retain their acknowledgment letters for tax purposes. In the case of real property, or closely held stock, a qualified appraisal is required.
The acceptance of all gifts is governed by John Muir Health Foundation's Gift Policies and Procedures.
