Giving Partners

Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, often doubling the impact of the gift. When making a gift to Overlake, check with your employer to learn whether a matching gift may be available. If your employer participates in the United Way workplace giving program or has its own Employee Giving Program, you may designate your gift to Overlake.

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Gifts of appreciated assets provide tax benefits for some donors and may include stocks, bonds, mutual funds or real estate that the donor has held for more than a year. To learn how to donate appreciated assets, please contact Planned Giving at the Overlake Hospital Foundation.

Planned Gifts 

By making a planned gift to Overlake, you may be able to enjoy tax benefits, avoid capital gains, and provide regular income for yourself or a loved one while supporting Overlake's five-star patient care.
