At NMC we appreciate every donation, whether of time or funds, allowing us to enhance our hospital and continue to provide a quality service for the community. If you have any questions or would like more information, please call (802) 524-1280.
Donations
Each year, NMC seeks community support to help invest in our people. Gifts to our annual appeal help fund staff training and professional development, improved equipment, and enhancements to the work environment.
A charitable donation is a meaningful way to honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or support a hospital service close to your heart. Eligible gifts receive special recognition in our Annual Report and may include an engraved Leaf on our Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life is a handcrafted maple wall sculpture honoring major donors and those honored by major gifts. Engraveable brass leaves commemorate gifts of $1,000 or more, while engraved stones at the base honor gifts of $5,000 or more, given as cash or pledged over up to three years.
Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees. Please let us know if your employer will match your gift.
Through gifts in wills, life insurance policies with the hospital as the benefactor, and other such planned gifts, individuals can ensure that their charitable spirit lives on. Individuals of all income levels can maximize their charitable giving while strategically managing their finances.
When Jim Bashaw died in August of 2000 from brain cancer, the loss affected not only his family and friends, but the entire community. In honor of Jim’s memory, a fund was established to provide financial assistance to residents of Franklin & Grand Isle Counties who are experiencing catastrophic illness from cancer or other causes.
This fund is availble to community members and organizations who support the health of people who experience barriers to care and well-being. Patients with chronic conditions can contact the Community Health Team (through their primary care provider) to apply for funds to pay for expenses related to medical needs.
Community events
A longstanding community golf tournament, the Community Partners Classic brings people together to support organizations that help our region thrive.
The St. Albans Rotary Cardiac Champ Challenge brings the community together to support expanded heart care at NMC, helping ensure more patients can access specialized cardiac services close to home.
Education
The NMC Health Professions Scholarship Program was created to support the creation of the Health Education Fund. This fund provides scholarships to local youth, based on scholastic record and community service, who are seeking careers in the health care field. In 2003, the Health Education Fund was renamed after Dr. Wennar, in honor of his long standing commitment to encouraging health professions through scholarships. For more information about applying for a scholarship from this fund, call Kate Laddison at (802) 524-1239.
