Donor FAQs

The Eastside community depends on Overlake to be ready with essential healthcare services when you need us most. As a nonprofit organization that does not receive tax dollars, the hospital depends on members of the community—individuals, businesses and organizations—to help us make key investments so that Overlake can continue to provide world class care close to where you live and work.

Every dollar you give goes directly to enhance patient care in the service line or program of your choice. Check here for Overlake's current key fundraising initiatives.

You can make a contribution in a number of ways, now or over your lifetime. You can make a gift today in the form of cash, checks or credit card donations.
