Annual Giving

One of the most intangible, and yet visible characteristics of Deborah is its deeply rooted culture of philanthropy. Annual Giving is the cornerstone of our entire development program. It is the process of seeking unrestricted financial support on an annual basis from a growing pool of individuals to help foster Deborah’s extraordinary culture of philanthropy.

Expanding our Family of Donors is paramount to the long-term success of our Foundation, and through this process some our most loyal and dedicated supporters are identified.

Through the continuous support of our donors, annual giving generates approximately $700,000 per year to provide support for patient care.

Did you know you can “double” your personal gift to Deborah by utilizing your employers Matching Gifts Program? Please contact your company to see if they participate.

For more information, contact the Foundation at 609-893-0100.

Transform Lives with a Major Gift

A major gift to Deborah Hospital Foundation (gifts of $5,000 or more in a given year) is more than a donation—it’s an investment in exceptional, life-saving care. Your generosity drives innovation in technology, expands vital patient services, and fuels groundbreaking research that touches thousands of lives each year. Whether you’re passionate about cardiac care, lung disease, or assisting veterans and first responders, your gift can be directed to the area that matters most to you. We’ll work closely with you to align your philanthropic goals with our mission, creating a lasting legacy of impact.

Join our community of visionary donors who are shaping the future of healthcare—one meaningful gift at a time.

Corporate and Foundation Gifts

Deborah Hospital Foundation’s Corporate and Foundation Relations Department aligns external partner funding sources with Deborah’s internal programs and research needs. By acting as the liaison between Deborah’s clinical and administrative leadership with external corporate, private foundations and a variety of government agencies, we are able to establish meaningful partnerships for funding. This is accomplished through grant writing, which is distinct from traditional fundraising efforts and includes a unique set of processes and detailed reports, goals and other requirements as mandated by the funding entities.

Naming opportunities are available at various funding levels related to supporting a specific program, state-of-the-art equipment, or naming of a particular area or department.

Corporate Matching: Leveraging Employee Support

We encourage firms to promote their corporate matching programs to employees, and for employees to enroll in them. By adding Deborah Hospital Foundation to your corporate gift-matching program, you have a remarkable opportunity to multiply the impact of employee gifts.

To explore funding opportunities that match a corporation or foundation’s interest with current programs and services at Deborah, please contact the Foundation at 609-893-0100.

Make a Lasting Impact with a Stock Gift

Donating stocks and securities is a powerful way to support Deborah Hospital Foundation—and it’s easier than you might think. By giving appreciated assets, you can make a significant contribution without affecting your cash flow.

Even better, when you donate securities directly, you may avoid capital gains taxes, and your gift goes further—benefiting both you and our mission. It’s a smart, tax-savvy way to give and make a lasting impact on patient care.

A Tax-Smart Way to Give

Donating stock can be up to 20% more valuable than selling it and giving the cash proceeds. By donating appreciated securities directly, you may avoid capital gains taxes—and in most cases, you can claim a charitable deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock.
