The Perkins County Health Services Foundation

…..what it is…..what it does…..

 

 

            The Perkins County Health Services Foundation (PCHSF) is a financial support arm of the Perkins County Health Services.  Its Purpose is to provide support for the advancement of local health care delivery.

            Established in 1987, it proposes many different methods of giving to the Foundation.  Among these are gifts of cash, bonds, stocks, gift annuities, securities, life insurance policies, land, buildings, grains, livestock, trusts, other real estate, etc.

            There are various creative ways of presenting property as a gift.  For example, you could deed property to the Foundation, and yet retain all the use and income from it as long as you live.  At the same time, you would have an immediate, large tax deduction and clear your estate of later taxation. You would also have the satisfaction of knowing you were helping your community NOW!

            A donation to the Foundation will result in…..

·        Maintaining high quality, close to home, local health care

·        Attracting & retaining quality physicians & medical staff

·        Assuring quality health care for future generations

·        Current and estate tax savings to you.

Over the life of the Foundation (1987 through 2008), donors have contributed a total of $3,004,733.00.  During this period, the organization has issued a total of $2,176.768.00 in grants to local health services.  These grants have primarily taken the form of medical equipment purchases, loans and scholarships.

            The January 1, 2009 net worth of the Foundation was $907,815.00.  The Board of Directors’ current goal is to increase this value to over $2 million and continue to grant over $150,000 per year to the local health services.
