Equipment & Technology Endowment

Barrett Hospital Foundation’s Endowment Mission is to inspire healthcare philanthropy to ensure the most advanced equipment and technology for current and future generations.

The Equipment & Technology Endowment serves to maintain Barrett Hospital & HealthCare as a modern healthcare facility, providing equipment and technology in perpetuity. The endowment is managed by a licensed financial advisor.

* An endowment is a financial asset created by donations specific to a non-profit in the form of investment funds or other property with a stated purpose. This endowment is designed to keep the principal intact while expending the interest on capital equipment.

Unrestricted Gifts

Unrestricted gifts can be used for any purpose, allowing Barrett Hospital Foundation the flexibility to use the funds so that they can have the greatest impact.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Our donors who are 70 ½ or older can reduce their tax liability by making an IRA QCD to the Foundation. You can make a gift directly from your IRA- up to $100,000 per year- without increasing your taxable income. Since the required minimum distribution begins at age 73, a gift from an IRA QCD may also reduce or even eliminate the income tax. Ask your financial professional to learn how.
