Support That Lives On

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift to The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital today provides a brighter picture for the future of medical research, patient care, nursing education, and community health. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure medical research continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Susan make a $50,000 donation to the Foundation, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support medical research in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
