Annual Giving
Charitable giving ensures that Orthopaedic Hospital's unique mission continues, allowing us to take more extraordinary steps into the future. It enables you and your family to make our tomorrow happen. And it allows us to make dreams a reality for millions of children in need of orthopaedic care.

At Orthopaedic Hospital, a gift of any size can create a legacy, and a future, for crippled children and their families. The support of our donors, volunteers and community members is what keeps the spirit of hope alive at Orthopaedic Hospital. Charitable giving provides stable, ongoing support for numerous medical and surgical programs, including the Craniofacial Cleft Palate Program and the International Children's Program. It makes possible the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment, groundbreaking research for the treatment of serious muskuloskeletal conditions, and extensive education for tomorrow's healthcare professionals.

Charitable giving is a way to make a much-needed gift to Orthopaedic Hospital while enjoying the benefits of advantageous tax treatment under both state and federal law. With careful planning, it is possible to reduce or eliminate income taxes and transfer taxes. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy such tax savings while turning appreciated assets into an income for yourself or others.

Through the long-term benefits of planned charitable giving, your gift will support Orthopaedic Hospital's charity care mission while protecting the children of today and tomorrow.

Annual Giving
Your annual gift of $1000, $100, $10, or any amount helps Orthopaedic Hospital meet the health care needs of our community. Such gifts help to plan support for vital patient programs, new medical equipment, health care education, and clinical research. Both small and large gifts given annually make a real difference.

In Memory or In Honor
Give a gift in honor of or in memory of a loved one, friend, physician, nurse, or hospital staff member, or your gift can celebrate occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. An acknowledgement letter will be mailed to anyone you designate informing them of your thoughtfulness, and your gift will be recognized in one of our publications.

Holiday Gifts
At holiday times, especially seasons of giving, let Orthopaedic Hospital Foundation send a special letter on your behalf stating that a thoughtful gift of health was made in the recipient's honor. For example, you might make a Valentine's Day gift restricting your gift for the Memorial Heart & Vascular Institute.

Employees of Orthopaedic Hospital
Your role at Orthopaedic Hospital is crucial to the patients you save, just as your philanthropic support is key to the growth and strength of your workplace. The Philanthropic Employee Payroll Participation Program allows you to support clinical research, health care education, and fund equipment and patient programs with your ongoing gifts through payroll deduction. Your gifts generate a tax deduction for you. Call the foundation office at 213.742.1500 or click here for a form.
