Ways to Give

There are many special occasions to remember those we admire and love — Mother’s and Father’s days, graduations, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. There also are times of sorrow when we lose a loved one.

A tribute gift to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is not only a thoughtful remembrance, it will help to ensure excellent choices in health care and the ongoing development of innovative programs and services that will be available to you, your family and your neighbors should the need ever arise.

To show someone you care or to remember a loved one, you may make an online donation now. If you would like additional information, please contact Philanthropy, 781.744.3333.

Planned gifts — so named because of the thoughtful planning that tends to accompany them — can take a number of different forms. Many of these gifts allow both you and Lahey Hospital & Medical Center to benefit at the same time.

Individuals who have given a life income gift, a distribution from a retirement plan or have included Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in their will or estate plan become members of the Lahey Health Legacy Society.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) functions as a personal charitable savings account with tax benefits as you make contributions to your DAF. Once you create a DAF, your funds are invested and grow tax-free. Interested in learning more about DAFs? Read information from the National Philanthropic Trust here.

Gifts of securities — such as individual stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares — can benefit both you and Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. A gift of securities has tax benefits that increase the value of your gift, which may allow you to make a larger gift than if you first sold the securities and then donated the net proceeds.

For assistance in making a gift of securities, please contact Philanthropy,  781.744.3333.

You may wish to make a donation in honor of someone who made a difference to you. Your “Champion of Care” will receive an acknowledgment letter and a pin that designates him or her as a Champion of Care. This recognition of both their personal commitment and professional expertise is highly rewarding for our staff.

The greatest benefit of making a gift to the Champions of Care program is knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of others. Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is a nonprofit medical center. Your gifts enable us to attract highly qualified staff, buy vital new equipment, expand and refurbish Lahey medical facilities, fund physician and nursing education, offer patient education and support groups, and support essential hospital services.

If you’d like to honor a Lahey Hospital & Medical Center caregiver in this special way, you may make an online donation now.

For more information about the Champions of Care Program, please contact the Lahey Office of Philanthropy, 781.744.3333.
