Giving to The Miriam Hospital

Ways to Give

Endowed Funds

The Miriam Hospital Foundation's named endowed program allows individuals to support the hospital's programs in perpetuity, in their name or in the name of a loved one.

Contributions from the individual or family are restricted to their named endowed fund, established with a signed letter of agreement, and are invested to provide a long-term balance of income and growth. Each year, a percentage of the income earned by the fund is given to the hospital program designated by the individual.

Named endowed funds have been established for cardiac care, cancer care, emergency medicine, and specific clinical units, as well as a range of lectureships and other special programs and services. Families can designate a committee, comprised of siblings, grandchildren or other trusted individuals, to decide which hospital need will be supported by the fund's income stream. Named endowed funds can also be established as a memorial tribute.

For more information on endowed funds please call Debbi Gilstein Jaffe, chief philanthropy officer, at 401-793-2062 or e-mail djaffe@lifespan.org.
