Endowments
Some donors choose to create an endowment. This is a permanent fund, created with a gift of $10,000 or more, and usually named in honor of the donor. The principal remains invested, while the income generated by the endowment is used to support specific programs or needs of the hospital.
Recognition Wall
The Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation proudly recognizes its many generous supporters by adding their personal, business or family name to its beautiful recognition wall located inside Skagit Valley Hospital.
Donors giving a one-time gift or accumulative gifts of $500 or more are recognized. The wall recognizing the Foundation's generous supporters is updated on an annual basis.
“I’m Grateful” Program
“How can I say thank you to those people who made a difference while I was in the hospital?”
- A grateful patient
It’s not just the bricks and mortar, or the high-tech equipment that make Skagit Valley Hospital shine. It is the people inside the walls; the nurses, clinicians, physicians, and support staff that make Skagit Valley Hospital special.
The Foundation’s “I’m Grateful” program provides former patients and their families an opportunity to give back to those who so compassionately cared for them and their families during their time of need.
When an employee is recognized through a gift to the Foundation, he or she receives a special card included with your kind thoughts.
To make a gift of gratitude, you may call the Foundation office at 360-814-2140 or download the “I’m Grateful” brochure and gift form.
Wills and Bequests
If you are interested in making a gift to Skagit Valley Hospital through your will, contact our Foundation office at 360-814-2140. The Foundation staff would be delighted to answer any questions to assist you in any way. You can also email Foundation executive director Linda Frizzell at lfrizzell@skagitvalleyhospital.org.
The Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation has also created an informational bequest brochure as a service to its faithful friends and supporters. The brochure titled “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way” was designed to familiarize you with various issues you may want to consider.
