Giving Opportunities

The greatest gift of all is the gift of health...

Rush-Copley Foundation is proud to provide a means for local community members to make a difference in the lives of others.  Your gift will strengthen the ability of Rush-Copley to offer excellent medical care for the greater Fox Valley area.

All gifts may be directed to the area of greatest need or may be restricted to a particular fund, such as: Heart Institute, Cancer Care Center,  Neuroscience Institute, Women's Services Institute, Emergency Services Institute, or any other area or department of the hospital.  Funds may also be designated for equipment, programs, operational costs, or educational opportunities.

Annual Fund - Annual giving is a key philanthropic resource of Rush-Copley Foundation.  The Foundation's fiscal year begins July 1.  Friends of the hospital may make gifts to the annual fund in any amount at any time.  All donations are appreciated and improve the quality of care for Rush-Copley patients. 

Honor & Tribute Gifts - Donors who choose to memorialize or honor the special people in their lives may do so through a gift to Rush-Copley Foundation in support of Rush-Copley Medical Center.  Tributes and memorials are a unique way to thank a nurse or physician, remember a special milestone, or celebrate someone's life.

Planned Giving - Gift planning is the art and science of helping donors and their advisors structure the “right” charitable gift. It is a process of bringing donors and charitable organizations, like the Foundation, together to develop mutually beneficial gift plans. Through the use of financial planning techniques, estate and tax planning officers in charitable organizations enable friends of the Foundation to make gifts of surprising significance, often with dramatic tax and financial rewards.   If you are considering gift planning options, please contact Rush-Copley Foundation Executive Director, Barbara Graham at 630-978-4946 or bgraham@rsh.net.
