Why Give?

Members of the Legacy Society have expressed their commitment through a planned or estate gift. The simple act of making this type of gift has a dramatic impact and provides transformational opportunities for those living or working in our communities through current-use or endowment support for areas such as, programming at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, research support for Ascension St. Vincent’s renowned physicians, and more.

At Ascension St. Vincent, our Mission, Vision and Values guide everything we do. They are foundational to our work to transform healthcare and express our priorities when providing care and services, particularly to those most in need. 

Gifts to the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation help transform care for patients and families served at Ascension St. Vincent. Over the past year, gifts have helped support and encourage frontline caregivers, allowed for the increased use of creative arts therapies to reduce anxiety and improve patient outcomes, provided a home-away-from-home at the Ascension St. Vincent House for hundreds of families of patients from outside Indiana, and much more. 

Ascension St. Vincent Foundation is grateful for the support provided by donors who have made planned gifts to support our patients and families. Through their generosity, these individuals have created meaningful legacies. Here are some of their stories.
