Ways To Give

As a hospital culture, we plan for the unexpected. One of the benefits for Aspen Valley Hospital employees is access to the Employee Emergency Financial Assistance Program (EEFAP). This fund is supported by the community and AVH employees to help when a crisis occurs. These funds are awarded as grants, not loans, and there is no expectation of repayment. The criteria for an emergency can include an unforeseen event that creates a personal economic hardship, a family crisis, a death of an immediate family member, or a short-term financial emergency when other resources have been exhausted.

If you would like to make a gift to the EEFAP, you can go to our Aspen Valley Hospital Donate page and choose EEFAP in the drop down options.

If you are an AVH employee and would like to help your teammates, you can make a contribution as a recurring deduction from your paycheck. You can also stop by the Foundation office and drop off a check.

The recipients will not know that you helped, but they will know that their community cares — as they care for our community.

Memorial gifts are expressions to remember and honor the memory of a friend or loved one. Or, gifts can be made in honor of physicians, nurses, caregivers and departments who have provided exceptional care.

Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation recognizes our donors annually in our Health Matters fall newsletter. There are additional opportunities for more lasting recognition. Please reach out to our Foundation staff for more information.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account, giving you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation and other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact. You can also leave a legacy by naming Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the DAF after you pass away.

When you donate appreciated stocks, mutual fund shares or bonds to Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation, you are entitled to a tax deduction for the full market value of the securities. This type of gift is particularly attractive if the securities are not yielding much annual income and would be subject to capital gains tax if sold directly in the market. We also accept wire transfers.

To receive the delivery instructions on how to transfer securities or a make a wire transfer, please contact Alina Pitman at 970-544-1302 or email: avhf@aspenhospital.org.

If you wish to donate appreciated securities to fund a charitable trust to either pay you income and benefit Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation, or to provide for Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation for a period of time and then benefit your heirs, please contact Jan Jennings at 970-544-1340 or email Jan at jjennings@aspenhospital.org.
