Please contact the Foundation at 315-848-4284 to learn more about any of the great opportunities listed below.
Memorial & Honorary Gifts
Memorial and honorary gifts create a lasting tribute to family members, friends or anyone else who has a meaningful place in your life. You can also consider making a gift in honor of a Clifton-Fine Hospital caregiver – perhaps someone who went the extra mile to care for you or a loved one.
Endowment Fund Gifts
Truly a gift that keeps on giving, donations made to our endowment fund are invested with the sole purpose of generating income that can then be used to help to make important advancements at Clifton-Fine Hospital possible. Only the interest earned is used to support programs – the principal remains intact. Best of all, the Northern New York Community Foundation will match, dollar for dollar, the first $25,000 in gifts made to this fund!
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a deferred donation, arranged well ahead of time, usually through wills, life insurance, charitable trusts, or gifts of property or stock. It does not usually require an immediate gift, but instead guarantees that a contribution will be made in the future. There are a variety of easy planned giving options from which you can choose – from naming the Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or of a life insurance policy or pension plan, to more complex charitable trust arrangements.
Naming Opportunities
As Clifton-Fine Hospital continues to renovate and expand its facilities, this program creates an opportunity for donors to perpetuate the name of an individual, a family, a business or an organization for years to come.
