GIFTS TO THE ENTERPRISE ZONE

We are fortunate to have been awarded the Enterprise Zone Project status, allowing 25% Colorado state tax deductions on all gifts by individuals and businesses. For example, if a donation of $10,000 is received by the Enterprise Zone, the donor will be eligible to receive a credit of $2500 from their state taxes. Of course, each individual should check with their tax consultant for all tax advice.

CORPORATE GIVING

The San Luis Valley’s rich culture and history has bred a unique sense of community. We are fortunate to live in an area that has a strong connection between the medical and business communities. Many of our neighboring businesses have enjoyed a relationship with our hospital over the years. There are now many new ways a business can help our foundation. Sponsoring an event, creating an opportunity for your employees to give to the foundation through a matching gift program or encouraging employees to volunteer with SLV Regional Medical Center are just some of the ways your organization can make a difference in our medical community. In-kind gifts are also greatly appreciated. These may be donated material goods or services or donated labor to a particular event or project.

MEMORIALS & HOMORARIUMS

Many families seek ways to honor loved ones. Memorials and honorariums to the hospital establish a legacy of giving. Once the memorial or honorarium has been set, the sponsoring individual will receive yearly updates, and all donors will be recognized in the hospital’s annual report.

SCHOLARSHIPS

For 30 years, the SLV Regional Medical Center has sponsored a scholarship program for its employees. More than 70 employees have attended schools to earn medical-related degrees and certificates. Our nation faces a tremendous shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly in rural communities. Your donation to this program will not only enable individuals to grow professionally, but will help the hospital recruit and retain quality health professionals. All donors and scholarship recipients will be recognized in the annual report.

GIFTS OF PROPERTY

Many investors look for ways to give property to charitable organizations as their tax year comes to a close. Creating gifts of property, (real estate, stocks, bonds, and life insurance) will have a double benefit for the investors. Not only will they receive the benefit of the tax deduction, they are also able to save capital gains taxes as well. Please contact the Executive Director of SLVRMC Foundation for further information.
