Online Donations

Gifts of Cash
A gift of cash is the most common and immediate way to give to Ranken Jordan.  Cash gifts by an individual are tax-deductible up to an amount equal to 50 percent of the donor’s adjusted gross income for the tax year.  Any excess is deductible over the next five years.  A pledge or promissory note is not deductible until the gift is paid.
 
Gifts In Kind
Donating items such as toys, clothes, medical supplies, and other tangible goods is another great way to give. Since we are unable to accept used goods please make sure all items are new. View our Gift-in-Kind guidelines and wish list.

Annual Giving
Annual Giving provides an opportunity for the community to support Ranken Jordan each year.  Welcoming gifts of all sizes, your contribution enables current programs and services to continue and new initiatives to begin.  You can participate at a level that is comfortable for you. Each gift, regardless of size, strengthens the hospital and demonstrates a vote of confidence in our mission. 
 
Gifts of Securities
If you give appreciated securities to Ranken Jordan, there are two benefits. First, you avoid paying capital gains taxes on the amount of the appreciation. Second, you can still deduct the full amount of the current value of the stock as a charitable income tax donation.  If you cannot use all of the deduction in the year you make the gift, you may carry over the deduction for an additional five years.

Matching Gifts
Thousands of companies take part in helping employees increase their donation by matching the gift.  Some companies even offer a greater than 1:1 match and your gift could double or even triple!  To find out if your company matches donations, contact your human resource office for more information.
 
Honor or Memorial Gifts
An Honor or Memorial gift to Ranken Jordan is a very special way to express your joy, gratitude or sympathy.  All special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Hanukkah, and Christmas are appropriately marked by a gift in the name of your honoree.  A card from the hospital will let the honoree or designated family member know of your thoughtful gift (amounts are never revealed).  Gifts will be acknowledged appropriately.  Gifts are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
