• To support, assist and promote the healthcare activities
• To subsidize any District operating deficits
• To fund for capital expenditures
• To fund for real property
• To fund for scholarships and educational grants
• To help with fundraising activities and direct solicitation

There are many ways in which individuals can participate. Gifts can be made as a lump –sum; over several years; through a bequest in a will; or by gifting stocks, real estate, and other personal property.

Gifts can be made in honor of or in memory of a loved one. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. A bequest is one way you can make a lifetime gift of cash, real estate or securities to Plains Medical Foundation simply by adding a codicil to your current will.

Gifts and grants received by the Foundation have been used for a stated purpose – for example, to purchase new ultrasound equipment, new equipment for the aquatic therapy pool, a new hydraulic stretcher for EMS, a bar scanner for the hospital pharmacy, and to remodel the Ettie McDermitt Education Room.
