Honor and Memorial Giving
A tribute gift is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved, memorialize a loved one, commemorate a special occasion or honor a person’s life and accomplishments. Your gift to Memorial Foundation made in honor or memory of a special person ensures a legacy that extends far into the future.
Named Gift Opportunities
A variety of named gift opportunities are available for donations of $50,000 or more. Memorial Foundation will work closely with donors to ensure their philanthropic objectives and interests are met through their named gift without compromising the mission of Memorial.
Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a sponsoring organization and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family or individual. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
Stock Donation/IRA Donation
Memorial Foundation welcomes gifts of publicly traded securities, closely held securities, mutual funds, real estate investment trusts and bonds. This is a simple way to make a gift with minimum delay and expense with tax benefits to donors. We’ll be happy to help facilitate the transfer process.

Employee Giving
The Annual Give the Gift of Health Employee Giving Campaign is a fundraising effort that gives employees the chance to make amazing things happen through a gift to the Memorial Foundation.
Charitable giving is vital for the hospital’s ability to maintain its role as a healthcare leader in the St. Louis region while fulfilling its charitable mission. Our employees make BJC Memorial Hospital truly extraordinary. In 2024, more than 300 employees contributed a portion of their pay to support their patients and co-workers with funding needed to create healthy and vibrant communities.
Why give as an employee?
Choosing to donate to the Employee Giving Campaign says that you believe so strongly in what happens at Memorial Hospital that you’re willing to support it above and beyond your everyday work by making a gift.
The Employee Giving Campaign is an exciting way to make a difference in our own facilities. Your gift shows you are proud of the exceptional health care provided by our staff every day.
Ways to Give
Give Through Payroll Deduction or Give with Credit Card.
Your employee gift provides value to our hospital and its affiliates in many ways. Your gift, dollar for dollar, benefits all our patients and facilities. You have a chance to demonstrate your support to our community. You can trust that your gift is managed wisely and responsibly as it goes to the fund you select. You want to make a difference.
Think About This:
If every employee gives $5 per pay period, we could raise almost $200,000! That’s nearly a quarter of a million dollars to refresh patient care areas, provide staff with educational experiences, or save lives with new equipment and supply purchases. Make a gift of $5 or more per pay period and see how you can give the gift of health!
Many of the important activities the Foundation supports are made possible by the generous efforts of our board members, committee members, volunteers, and donors. These stakeholders dedicate their time, talents, and treasures in support of the many programs and initiatives funded by the Foundation.
