A Mission of Giving

Planned Gifts

Click to downloadOur lives take on a deeper meaning when we plant a tree under whose shade we do not expect to sit under.

Mercy Foundation is grateful to serve alongside a community who demonstrates humankindness® by sharing our commitment to make compassionate healthcare and wellness programs available to Douglas County children and families.

One way to care for future generations is through a planned gift.

When you give to the Mercy Foundation, you choose how your gift is used, directing it to a specific fund, project, or future use. Gifts may be made in honor of loved ones and friends.

Designated or not, your gift will help the Foundation make a tangible difference in the health of our community for many years to come. And because Mercy Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation, your gift is tax-deductible.
