General Information

Trinity Foundation

Have you ever thought about what you, as an individual, or, a group of individuals could do to make a difference in someone’s life? Would you take a moment and let us share some thought provoking ideas that will give you the insight to accomplish your goals and manage to get that ‘feel good about it’ feeling that we all like and want in our lives.

No contribution, small or large, goes unused or unneeded…whether it’s $25.00 as a memorial or $100,000.00 to start an endowment…these funds are put to hard work making each and every dollar count.  As the old saying goes, “take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.”  We, at the Foundation, take very good care of your pennies!

As you reach various levels of giving, your gifts are acknowledged in our two plaque recognition systems.  One system is located at the Tony Termana Cancer Center…these are gifts restricted only for that facility.  The other is a cumulative gift recognition system placed in the Lobby at Trinity Medical Center West.

When you contribute to Trinity Health System Foundation you become a partner in caring.  Your donation touches many avenues of caring and you are the driver down these avenues…you have a choice in which direction your donation will go.  There are several areas of caring from which to choose.  Let us review some of your options.

• General Donations 
  These  will  go  directly  to  the  Hospital  for  purposes that are deemed appropriate and worthy. These contributions may be for general or restricted funds.
   
• Memorial Donations
  These  donations  are  in   memory  of  a  loved  one or someone of whom you had great respect and wish to have their memory acknowledged.  These contributions may be for general or restricted funds.

• Educational Donations
  These  donations  may  be  restricted for  educational purposes, whether for in-hospital or community-at-large educational needs.
