We appreciate your support of Froedtert Hospital Foundation no matter how you give.  Some people prefer to make an immediate gift, while others pledge to give over a period of time.

Matching Gifts

Many employers match the donations of their employees, increasing the impact of your gift.  Contact your Human Resources office for more information about matching gift opportunities.

Stocks and Bonds

Assets like stocks and bonds make excellent gifts to our Foundation, especially if they have increased in value.  Many people contribute these appreciated assets rather than cash because they receive the same tax deductions while avoiding capital gains and transfer fees.

Planned/Estate Giving

During tough economic times, many people find a planned gift is the best way for them to make a charitable contribution. 

Your gift can be in the form of a bequest in your will or living trust. You might also consider Froedtert as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, retirement plan or financial account. Life-income gifts such as a charitable gift annuity or trust can also provide you with immediate tax savings and annual income.

For more information about planned giving, or to receive our financial planning newsletter, visit our new Gift and Estate Planning pages.  Here you can discover all the tax and income benefits of planned gifts. If you are wondering how a planned gift might work for you, you can refer to our gift calculator, Build Your Gift.

To discuss your planned giving options, contact Rick Scott, Director of Planned and Major Giving, at 414-805-1202 or rscott@fmlh.edu.

Tribute Gifts

A gift to the Froedtert Hospital Foundation is an ideal way to remember a loved one or pay tribute to a caregiver or another special person in your life.  Any gift to Froedtert can be make in honor of or in memory of the person of your choice.  Simply designate the gift as a tribute gift on the online or printed form that you'll fill out with your gift.

Gifts-in-Kind

Froedtert Hospital Foundation often receives inquiries regarding non-monetary gifts or gifts-in-kind of medical equipment.  The Foundation is unable to accept gifts of medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, dialysis machines, IV pumps, insulin pumps, etc.   

We are thankful that you have thought of us but instead ask you to consider donating your items to other organizations in our community that will be able to put your donations to better use.  We suggest that you contact your local church, community clinic or homeless shelter.
