Cash Gifts
There is no easier way to get a charitable deduction and support the Centra Health Foundation at the same time than by giving a cash gift. It's as easy as writing a check or using your credit card. And you can deduct 100 percent of the gift amount from your federal income tax. Make sure you postmark your gift for each particular year by December 31.Click on the Make a Donation button to the left to make your gift or pledge now.

Real Estate Gifts
If you own a home, vacation home, acreage or a farm, a charitable real estate gift can bring you great tax advantages. The tax benefits of appreciated real estate are identical to those of appreciated securities. A real estate donation provides you with an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value of the property and eliminates capital gains tax on your profit.

Appreciated Securities Gifts
An appreciated stocks and bonds gift is an excellent way to support the hospital's programs. This type of gift usually enables you to receive not only an income tax deduction, but also eliminates capital gains tax.

Honor Gifts
Making a gift in honor of an individual is a great way to remember a family member, friend or colleague on a special occasion. The gift is a tribute to the individual for which it's given. Gifts can recognize births, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, retirements, weddings and professional or academic achievements.

When you let us know whom you want to honor, we'll send that person a card acknowledging your gift in his or her name.

Memorial Gifts
Gifts in memory of individuals can be given to memorialize a loved one, family member, spouse, friend or valued colleague. When we receive gifts in memory of an individual, we send a card to the family of the deceased notifying them of the gift.
