Q: Why does Borgess need philanthropy?

A: Community philanthropy has always played a vital role in our 116-year history. The generosity of people, business and organizations has been a key factor in every major development, every large building project, and every new era of health care at Borgess.

The Borgess mission has always focused on our dedication to serving the poor and ensuring that state-of-the-art medical care is accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We continue to provide quality care to hundreds of patients who have no insurance coverage or are underinsured. That’s where philanthropy can help.

Gifts from caring individuals just like you will help touch people’s lives by allowing us to continue our important mission.

Q: How can I make a difference?

A: Donations to the Borgess Foundation can take the form of cash gifts, stock, property or other assets. We also have options for donors to make gifts to the campaign over a longer period of time. We welcome and encourage you to make a gift in memory or honor of someone important in your life, or establish your own named gift. Please contact the Borgess Foundation directly for more information. Every dollar counts.

Q: Are there any tax incentives?

A: The Borgess Foundation is a separate 501 (c) 3 organization. Any general contributions to the Foundation or earmarked gifts, regardless of their size, will be tax deductible as allowed by law. For more tax information about charitable deductions, please contact your financial advisor.
