A little each month adds up

A monthly gift is one of the easiest ways to make a steady difference for patients and families in North Iowa.

On the donation form, choose Monthly and pay by credit card. Your gift goes through once a month, so you can set it and forget it. Need to change or stop it later? Just give us a call.

Start a Monthly Gift

Honor someone who matters to you

A gift in someone's name is a meaningful way to remember a loved one or say thank you.

Use the regular donation form and fill in the Honor or Memorial Gift Information section with their name. Check Mail a letter on my behalf if you'd like us to let the family or honoree know about your gift.

Want to thank a doctor, nurse or staff member? Our Caregiver Champion program is made just for that.

Share the fruits of your labor

Farmers play a big part in the health of North Iowa. Donating grain is a simple way to support care for your neighbors, close to home.

  1. Call or email us first so we can make sure everything is set up the right way.
  2. Deliver your grain to your elevator or co-op and tell them you want to transfer ownership to the MercyOne North Iowa Foundation. Ask for a grain storage receipt that shows the Foundation as the owner. The elevator shouldn't sell the grain or send us a check until we give them instructions.
  3. Let us know once the transfer is made and where the grain is stored. We'll handle the sale and send you a thank-you acknowledging your gift.

For farm operators, giving grain can mean a bigger tax benefit than selling it and donating the cash. You may be able to leave the sale out of your income and still deduct your production costs.

Talk with your tax professional about your situation before making a gift of grain.

Support care for generations

An endowed fund keeps giving year after year. Your gift stays invested, and the earnings support the area of care you choose.

You can start a named endowed fund with a gift of $100,000 or more. It can honor your family, a loved one or a cause close to your heart. Many people build an endowment over time or through a gift in their estate plans. You can also add to an endowed fund that's already set up, including one you started earlier.

Stock, IRA and more

These gifts go through your broker, IRA administrator or fund, so a quick call to us first makes sure your gift finds us and gets credited to you.

Gifts of stock

Give stock that's grown in value

Gifts of stock or mutual fund shares make an immediate difference, and you may get an income tax deduction based on their current value.

Please contact us before you start the transfer. We'll work with our parent company, Trinity Health, and give you the delivery instructions. After each transfer, you'll get a letter from us confirming your gift.

IRA gifts

Give straight from your IRA

If you're 70½ or older, a qualified charitable distribution doesn't count as taxable income, and it can count toward your required minimum distribution.

The money has to go directly from your IRA administrator to the Foundation. You can also name us as a beneficiary; see Planned Giving.

Recommend a grant from your fund
