Call to make your gift via credit card during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please state the purpose for which you would like us to use your gift. 100% of your gift supports our ministries.  Ascension St. Mary’s Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.  All donations are acknowledged with a receipt.

A gift may be made in memory or in honor of a special person or occasion. When making your gift, please indicate the name of the person you wish to honor or memorialize. We will be happy to send notification of your generous remembrance to the individual or individuals of your choosing (gift amount is not disclosed).  

As you and your family discuss the future, consider making a deferred gift to Ascension St. Mary's Foundation or Ascension Standish Hospital Development Fund. Your planned contribution will not go into effect until the end of your life but is a proactive step you can take now to ensure your wishes are carried out through your will or trust. This simple act will benefit our ministries today and in years to come and can provide your family tax benefits.

There are several ways to make a deferred gift including a bequest, qualified retirement plan, life insurance or life estate agreement. We invite you to be part of our legacy of caring.

For more information on planned giving options or sample language to include in your will, please call (989) 907-8300 or e-mail Karen Stiffler, Vice President, Karen.Stiffler@ascension.org.
