Why donate?
We rely on generous contributions from people just like you to help us to achieve our mission.
Many positive investments in equipment and our facility are made possible through the generous donations of both the public and our own colleagues. Any way it is measured – by participation, annual giving or as a planned gift for the future – giving to Libertas matters. It matters to our patients, who benefit from expanded opportunities for excellent treatment. It inspires our colleagues who utilize philanthropy to provide compassionate patient services. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of so many by financially supporting Libertas with a donation to the Foundation. Monetary contributions are welcome at any time.

Ways to donate:
- Cash or Check: Gifts may be made with cash or a check. Please make checks payable to Libertas Treatment Center.
- Memorial and Honor Gifts: Gifts of any size to Libertas can be made in honor or in memory of someone. Donors make gifts to remember a loved one, to recognize a physician or another caregiver at the hospital or to celebrate a special occasion. If you wish to make a gift in honor or in memory of someone, please include the name of the person as well as the contact information (name and address) for any person who we can notify of your thoughtfulness.
- Matching Gifts: Matching gifts occur when a company matches the charitable contribution of an employee to a nonprofit organization. If you (or your spouse) work for a matching gift company, your gift may be doubled, or even tripled. The matching gift procedure is very simple. The employee gets a matching gift form from their human resources department. After completing the form, the employee sends it along with their gift to the Libertas Foundation. (You may also send in the form after you have made the gift.) The Libertas Foundation confirms on the form that it has received the gift and meets the company’s guidelines for receiving a matching gift. The Foundation then returns the form to the company. The company verifies eligibility of the employee and sends a check to the Libertas Foundation.
- Stocks/Securities: Gifts of appreciated securities may offer you significant tax savings. For information how to transfer securities to Libertas, call (920) 498-8600.
- Corporate/Foundation: If your company or foundation would like to contribute directly to Libertas please call (920) 498-8600.
- Gifts Made Through a Will: Members of Friends for Life have arranged for a charitable bequest – a gift made from an estate, after death, or as a result of instructions outlined in a will. Bequests can be of a specific dollar amount, a specific asset or assets or for a percentage of an estate. If you choose to give a gift to St. Vincent Hospital through your will, you can make your bequest available for our immediate use or you may restrict it to endowment. With endowment gifts, a portion of the investment earnings are used to fulfill the stated purpose of the gift.
- Charitable Trusts: Charitable trusts are another option for donors who wish to make a current or deferred gift to Libertas but are concerned about retaining an income from the asset. Charitable trusts can provide donors with regular cash payments, current charitable income tax deduction, avoidance or reduction of estate taxes and elimination of money-management concerns. *Giving through such arrangements can be a meaningful way to blend your philanthropic goals with your personal financial and tax-planning needs. Charitable trusts are set up through an outside advisor such as through a trust department of a bank. It is important that you let us know if Libertas is a beneficiary of a trust agreement so we may thank you and recognize your gift appropriately.
- Life Insurance: Sometimes people no longer need a life insurance policy they purchased when they were younger to protect a growing family and/or they have accumulated ample assets necessary to meet day-to-day financial demands. In this case, the cash value of a life insurance policy as a charitable gift may make sense. Donors may also establish new cash value policies on themselves and deduct the premiums as long as Libertas is named owner and beneficiary of the policy. For more information on making a charitable gift through life insurance, please call (920) 498-8600.
- Endowment: An endowment is an amount of money that is given to the Libertas Foundation with a stipulation that the funds are invested to earn annual interest rather than spent immediately. A portion of the annual earnings is used to support programs within Libertas. An endowment can be restricted to a specific department or unrestricted to be used for the greatest need. Named endowments are a gracious way to honor an individual loved one or a family name. A minimum of $10,000 is required to establish a named endowment. For more information on establishing an endowment, please call (920) 498-8600.
