Memorials
and Tributes
A gift in memory of a loved one or in honor of a friend,
family member, physician or other caregiver is a thoughtful
way to express your thanks and support. We will send the
honoree a card to let him or her know of your gift in their
honor. The amount of your gift will remain confidential.
If you would like to memorialize someone with a gift to
the Foundation, we will notify their spouse, children,
or other loved one of your special gift. Please provide
the name and address of the person to be notified.
Planned Gifts
Provide for the future of the Thomas Scattergood Foundation
through a bequest or life-income gift. You have the
opportunity to contribute to Friends Hospital through
various deferred gift opportunities including
-
Wills--You can make a bequest to the Foundation
by including the Foundation in your will. To name
the Foundation in your will, the appropriate legal
name to be used is: Thomas Scattergood Behavioral
Health Foundation.
-
Charitable Gift Annuities--
A charitable gift annuity is an opportunity for
you as the donor to make a gift to the Foundation
and receive fixed payments for the rest of your
life and/or the lifetime of another person if
so desired. It’s not
complicated and this type of gift can benefit
you and the Foundation.
Matching Gifts
Many employers encourage employee giving through a matching
gift program. Through this program, your employer may
match part or all of your contribution to the Thomas
Scattergood Foundation. If you donate $100, for example,
your company may contribute an additional $50 (50%
match), $100 (100% match) or even $200 (200% match).
If you are interested, inquire about a matching gift
program at your place of work. Obtain the proper paper
work and send it in with your gift to the Foundation.
We’ll take care of the rest.
Gifts of Stock
There has been remarkable growth in the value of stocks
and other investments in recent years. As a result,
you may now own investments that have dramatically
increased in value. While no one knows for sure what
the future might hold, each possibility suggests opportunities
for you to make a charitable gift to the Foundation.
We can make it easy for you to make gifts of stock.
Advocacy
The Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation advocates
for the mentally ill, who are often not in a position
to advocate for themselves. Help strengthen the voices
of the mentally ill with legislators, and help effect
change on the local, state, and national levels by
volunteering to support advocacy programs aimed at
improving care for individuals suffering from mental
illness. To find out more, call the Foundation at 215-831-3000.
