Foundation Programs and Services
Annual Giving
Our annual giving program includes contributions given to the Foundation throughout the year. Our program's purpose is designed to cultivate interest and support for the Hospital Center. Special mailings are developed which focus on different hospital needs and are mailed to the community on a regular basis. Donations are made, in most cases, to support specific programs although we receive many unrestricted gifts. Individuals also make donations in "memory of" or "in honor of" significant individuals in their lives. This program allows donors to get involved in our organization by supporting their personal interests and needs.
Planned Giving
This program provides opportunities for individuals with estate plans and financial circumstances that would be enhanced by the tax savings of planned gifts. Apart from the tax benefits, these individuals primarily want to advance the work of the foundation. Individuals make contributions under planned giving by naming the Hospital Center Foundation in a bequest through a will; as beneficiary of an insurance policy or annuity; as a recipient of appreciated property or securities, or as the beneficiary of other financial arrangements that may relieve the donor of tax responsibilities. There are planned giving opportunities that can also assure lifetime income while providing the donor with a tax deduction.
Special Events
The Foundation hosts various special fund-raising events throughout the year. The largest of these fund-raisers is a black tie Gala held each spring. The Foundation is also the recipient of proceeds raised through the Dimensions Healthcare System annual Golf Tournament each summer. Proceeds from these activities go to the Foundation for the benefit of the Hospital Center's programs and services.
Capital Campaigns
The Foundation has sponsored several capital campaigns during the past ten years. These special efforts to raise large amounts of funding have supported renovation of the Cardiac Care Unit, Construction of the Pavilion and, most recently, renovation and construction of the new Emergency Department.
Prince George's Hospital Center Guild
The Guild has been active in fund-raising and volunteer efforts since the doors of the hospital opened back in 1944. Through the years, the Guild has conducted many fund-raising programs such as shoe/clothing, jewelry, book and flower sales. As a result they have raised approximately $3 Million for the hospital and its patients. Donations made by the Guild are now received by the Foundation where they are placed in a restricted fund to address future hospital needs.
Guild members also volunteer their time by offering services to patients and staff including a "shopping cart," "patient library," and assistance at the hospital's main entrance to name a few activities.
