We offer many ways to make contributions to the Gunnison Valley Health
system, from online donations to partner programs with organizations like
Amazon.com. A variety of ways to support the Foundation are listed below.
Thank you for your generosity.
The Grateful Patient Program provides an opportunity for you to share your
story with us. From compassionate nursing care to skilled clinical treatment,
the Grateful Patient program allows you to recognize our staff and thank
them for their work. Through the program you can also give to support
efforts such as nursing education, and further the already superb care
available to our community.
Major Gifts
Gifts of $20,000 or more in support of a clinical program or capital project
to Gunnison Valley Health System are crucial to our fiscal health. A major
gift will provide our community with the latest, most advanced care available
and drive real change in medical technology and treatments. You may contact
the Foundation office to learn more about major gift opportunities.
Endowments
Endowed funds ensure the superiority of care provided by Gunnison Valley
Health System. They supplement operating support and allow programs to
develop and grow. Endowed funds support clinical programs, education and
advocacy. Endowed funds are carefully managed for growth and the interest
earned is available year after year, benefitting our patients and their
families in perpetuity. Endowed funds may be established with a gift of
$50,000 or more.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving provides a wonderful opportunity to make a significant donation
to the Gunnison Valley Health System, while providing a tax benefit or
lifetime income for loved ones or ourselves. Planned gifts may be made
with cash, but many are made by donating other assets such as stocks,
real estate, art pieces, or business interests. Often planned gifts are
bequests made through your will, but other methods include charitable
trusts and charitable gift annuities.
Making a planned charitable gift usually requires the assistance of an
attorney or financial advisor to help structure the gift appropriately.
Please contact the Foundation with questions about how you may leave your
legacy at Gunnison Valley Health. If you have already chosen to do so,

and staff. If you are interested in donating an item (furniture, equipment,

The Gunnison Valley Health Foundation hosts a number of events throughout

involvement and look forward to seeing you at one of our social or sporting
events. You can give to the health system and have fun at the same time!
