Every Dollar Counts
Each year, hundreds of generous donors - former patients, local businesses and foundations - contribute to the Friends Foundation. They make a difference in the lives of countless people who depend on their community hospital.
You can feel great knowing that your contribution makes a tangible difference - felt by our patients every day. Your donation - no matter how big or how small - goes a long way toward helping to improve the quality of care at Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital. Donations support the purchases for state-of-the-art, technologically advanced equipment and also help to maintain key services.
Here are just a few examples of how donated funds have been put to use at SGCMH:
- 64 Slice CT Scanner
- Newborn Infant Car Seats for the OB Department

How to Give
While you'll gain the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference, often there are significant tax advantages and long-term financial benefits for donors and their loved ones. We can work with your attorney or tax advisor to create a charitable giving plan tailored to your individual interests and circumstances. Here are some of the options available:
Cash - Most of the contributions to Friends are cash, which is the easiest gift for a donor to make and for our organization to receive.
Appreciated Stocks, Bonds and Real Estate - A gift of publicly-traded, appreciated securities, bonds or employee stock options qualifies for special tax benefits.
Bequest - By putting the Friends Foundation in your will, you can ensure that your assets are well invested in the lives of Ste. Genevieve patients.
Life Income Agreements - The Charitable Gift Annuity and Charitable Remainder Trust are options that create a significant legacy for the future while generating income for life.
Endowment - The annual income from an endowed gift can be designated by the donor for the general benefit of the hospital or designated for a specific purpose or program.
Retirement Benefits - Pensions, retirement plans, 401 (K) plans, IRAs and other tax-deferred instruments are one of the most attractive ways to give.
Life Estate Agreement on Real Property – You may leave a bequest of part or your entire home to the Friends Foundation. If you are considering this, you may want to create a Life Estate Agreement, which enables you to receive a very significant charitable income tax deduction.
Life Insurance - You can designate the foundation as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or a new policy.
