Make A Gift

Clinical program funds offer essential support to the programs within General Pediatrics, ensuring that we can enhance the health and well-being of all children through comprehensive, innovative care. These funds are crucial in advancing patient care, enabling us to deliver equitable, integrated services that directly impact the lives of our patients and their families.

Research funds in General Pediatrics support our commitment to advancing innovative approaches to improving the health and well-being of children. Whether focusing on specific aspects of pediatric care or contributing to broader studies, these funds empower us to drive critical research initiatives, fostering innovation and breakthroughs that enhance care for children across diverse communities.

Endowed funds provide perpetual support within the Division, ensuring that we have consistent resources to advance the areas of medicine most important to you. These funds are held in perpetuity, with a portion disbursed annually to accelerate research, recruit and retain leading physician-scientists, and launch the careers of future medical and bioscience leaders. For example, a $500k endowed fund can secure long-term sustainability in critical areas, creating an enduring impact on the future of healthcare.

Direct giving involves straightforward, immediate, one-time donations to support specific areas within General Pediatrics, providing critical resources where they are most needed. These contributions can be directed toward specific projects, patient care initiatives, or ongoing operational needs, allowing donors to see the immediate impact of their generosity.

Multi-year pledges allow donors to plan and allocate their giving over several years, ensuring sustained support for vital care and research initiatives. By spreading contributions over time, donors can make a larger impact than might be possible with a single gift, providing long-term stability for programs that require ongoing funding.

Stock donations offer a mutually beneficial giving option, allowing donors to contribute appreciated stock held for over a year. This method not only advances our work but also provides significant tax benefits, such as the ability to deduct the fair market value of the stock and avoid capital gains tax. Stock donations are a powerful way to support our mission while enhancing your financial planning.

Donor-advised funds, hosted by public charities, allow donors to contribute to advancing care and research, receive tax benefits, and recommend grants to support our work. This flexible giving option helps you make a significant philanthropic impact on the lives of children and families in need of compassionate care.

Gift planning (also known as legacy or estate giving) allows donors to create a lasting philanthropic legacy by incorporating charitable provisions in their estate plan. By including us in your long-term financial planning, you ensure that your values and commitment to compassionate care continue to benefit future generations. Legacy gifts can be tailored to meet your personal, financial, and philanthropic goals, leaving a profound and lasting impact.

Common gift planning options include:

1. Wills & Living Trusts: Specify a bequest to the area of our work that means the most to you in your will or living trust, ensuring that your support endures beyond your lifetime.
2. Beneficiary Designations: Name the Division or a specific program area as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or other assets, providing a simple way to leave a lasting legacy.
3. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs): Consider a charitable rollover from your IRA to support our work while potentially reducing your taxable income.
4. Charitable Gift Annuities: Establish an annuity that provides you with a steady income for life, with the remainder supporting our mission. This option offers both financial security and philanthropic impact.
5. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs): Create a trust that provides income to you or others for a specified period, with the remainder benefiting the Division, allowing you to support your loved ones and our program simultaneously.
