The Washington Hospital donors are recognized in the following ways:

Annual Gifts of $100 or more are recognized in the Hospital and Foundation’s donor report.

Commemorative Gifts of all sizes to the Hospital or Hospice Care are made in honor of someone on a special occasion or as a memorial to someone who has passed away. Hospice Care memorial donors are recognized in the semi-annual Hospice Newsletter, The Journey; all others are recognized in the Hospital and Foundation’s donor report. Acknowledgments are sent to the family or loved one as appropriate.

The Tree of Life is a beautiful bronze tree located in the Hospital’s main lobby. It is a special way to commemorate a loved one and support the Hospital. Each leaf or stone bears the name(s) of the honoree as specified by the donor.

The Legacy Library, a commemorative giving recognition piece, for donations to Hospice Care is a trompe l'oeil (faux painted) bookcase located on the first floor of Donnell House.  The shelves of this library are filled with painted books that have brass plates engraved with an honoree or donor's name affixed to the spine.

Donor Plaques are located throughout the Hospital as naming opportunities for the donors of major gifts (e.g., an operating suite, patient unit, waiting area, patient room, etc.).

The Heritage Society Plaque, located in the main lobby, is organized into giving level categories to recognize cumulative giving of $2,500 and above. Permanent brass name plates engraved with donors’ names are moved to higher giving categories as cumulative giving increases. In addition, there are revocable and irrevocable deferred gifts sections.

Annual Donor Reception - Donors of $500 or more are invited to attend a private reception each year. An individual or special group may be honored at the donor reception for their philanthropy and commitment to The Washington Hospital.
