Become a monthly sustainer
By investing monthly in GBMC, you are providing essential and reliable funding for the hospital which ensures we have the resources to help those less fortunate.
Being a monthly donor is convenient for you, and lifesaving for our patients. Your gifts are scheduled automatically and can be updated at any time, so you can be assured that you are making a difference at GBMC. It is flexible, easy and secure.
Donate any monthly amount
IRA rollover
The IRA Charitable Rollover allows people aged 701/2 and older to make direct transfers up to $100,000 per year to qualified charities, without having to count the transfers as income for federal income tax purposes. Because a Charitable Rollover gift reduces income and is not an itemized deduction, it may benefit investors who do not itemize. Your financial specialist can advise you more fully on your options.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor advised funds are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to make a charitable gift. If you or your family have a donor advised fund, you can make a gift to GBMC from your fund. Contact our office to learn more.
Gifts in honor or memory of someone
Honor someone special or remember a special occasion
You can make gifts in honor of anyone you choose or for any occasion: your caregiver, your doctor, the birth or adoption of a child, a wedding, anniversary, or birthday – the reasons to recognize someone or something are endless. And GBMC is a great place to do this. We will provide you with a letter for tax purposes and thanking you for your gift, as well as notifying the recipient of your generosity.
You can make a gift online to honor someone special or memorialize a special occasion, or you can mail your gift to us with this donation form.
Memorial Gifts
Memorial gifts are a wonderful way to honor and remember someone who has passed away. We will provide you with a letter for tax purposes and thanking you for your gift. The family of the person you are remembering will receive a letter informing them that a gift has been made by you in memory of their loved one.
