Moundview Memorial Healthcare Foundation

Consider making an annual, tax-deductible donation to the foundation. Donations can be made at any time. If you would like to be added to the foundation’s annual mailing list, email Aaron or call (608) 339-8391.

Memorials and honor gifts enable you to pay tribute to friends and loved ones. Memorials can be established as a way for others to donate in your loved one’s name. Honor gifts can recognize a special person, event (such as an anniversary, birthday or retirement) or as a thank you to volunteers or medical staff. In recognition of your gift, a letter will be sent to you and the recipient or their family.

You may choose to publicly acknowledge a memorial or honor gift on the Tree of Life, a brass sculpture located in the hospital’s lobby. An engraving is placed on the tree’s leaves, acorns and stones at the following levels of giving:

• Leaf: $100-$499
• Acorn: $500-$1,999
• Contributor Stone: $2,000-$4,999
• Benefactor Stone: $5,000-$14,999
• Supporter Stone: $15,000-$29,999
• Patron Stone: $30,000-$49,000
• Sponsor Stone: $50,000 plus

Please call us at (608) 339-8391 or (608) 339-8328 to set up a Tree of Life gift.

Planned gifts allow you to donate without impacting your current income or lifestyle and may ease your tax liability. Some examples include:

• A bequest in your will. This can be for a specific cash amount, an asset (such as life insurance or property), a percentage of your estate or a gift from the residue of your estate after providing for your benefactors.
• Qualified Charitable Distribution. If you are age 70½ years or older, you can make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA. This can help you satisfy the annual required minimum distribution and reduce your income taxes.  
• Designate the foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets or life insurance policies.  
• Gifts of stocks and bonds that can be sent to us directly through your brokerage account. You will receive a charitable income tax credit which is typically equal to or less than the fair market value as determined by IRS guidance. We sell the stock and use the proceeds for our mission.

When considering a planned gift, please consult your financial planner to determine the best way to contribute while also meeting the needs of your family. If you choose to leave a future gift to the foundation, please notify us. We would appreciate an opportunity to express our gratitude.

To help meet the future healthcare needs of our communities, donors may consider establishing a designated endowment fund. Contributions to the fund would be invested for long-term growth. The principle will remain invested as a perpetual fund to provide benefit for years to come. Only the interest and dividends would be used to fund capital projects, equipment or programs. You may designate the types of projects or programs to be funded or request the funds be spent on the area of greatest need. Contributions can be made annually or as a one-time donation.
