Ways to Give
You can support Legacy Health in a variety of ways. Whichever method you choose, your tax-deductible gift goes to work immediately supporting the health of our community.
You may choose a foundation from the menu at left and make a gift online. You may also mail a check in support of the foundation of your choice to PO Box 4484, Portland, Oregon 97208. Your gift is receipted promptly.
For larger gifts, consider making a pledge. This allows you to complete your gift by making regular payments over time. Each payment on your pledge is eligible for an income-tax deduction.
Tribute gifts
You can make a gift in memory or recognition of a loved one, or can recognize the outstanding care you received at a Legacy facility through our Care Champions program.
Matching gifts
Many companies sponsor matching gifts programs that will double or even triple contributions made to Legacy Health by their employees or their employees' spouses. Check with your employer (including companies you retired from) to see if this option is available.
Gifts of stock
Legacy Health accepts the donation of appreciated securities, stocks and bonds, which may offer the donor significant tax advantages.
