Ways to Give

Appreciated Assets

Gifts of stock, bonds, mutual funds, real estate and other appreciated property are one of the most tax-efficient ways to make a charitable donation. Click here for donation instructions or click here to learn more about the benefits of donating appreciated assets.

Planned Gifts

A planned gift is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact on St. Jude in the future; allowing you to give in a way that makes the most sense for you and your family without affecting your current assets or lifestyle. The most common planned gift is a bequest in your will or living trust, but you can also designate St. Jude as a beneficiary of any portion of your IRA account or life insurance policy, charitable gift annuity, or charitable remainder trust.

Please let us know if you have already remembered St. Jude in your estate plans so that we can welcome you into our Sister Jane Frances Society. To learn more about planned giving and leaving a legacy, call (714) 992-3033 or click here.

Tribute or Memorial Gifts

Any gift to St. Jude can be made in honor or in memory of someone, such as a family member, loved one or physician. If their contact information is provided, your honoree will receive a letter informing them that a gift has been made in their honor. With a tribute or memorial gift of $1,000 or more, the honoree’s name will be placed on the hospital’s Tribute and Memorial Wall. To learn more about recognition or naming opportunities, click here.

Workplace Matching Gifts

Some companies may double or triple the amount of your original gift and will even match gifts from spouses or retirees. See if your company matches gifts by searching here, or contact your HR department directly.

Employee Giving

St. Jude employees and physicians give so much of their time and talent every day to make a difference in the lives of our patients. Yet there are many who wish to take their contribution one step further by making a gift to support the continuation of high quality care for their patients and future generations. Medical center or Heritage employees who wish to make a philanthropic investment in St. Jude can download the employee giving form to donate by cash, check, credit card or payroll deduction.
