Your gift to Grace Cottage Hospital can be a special way to honor the memory of a loved one, to recognize a dedicated caregiver, to commemorate an anniversary or a birthday, or to celebrate a holiday.
Memorial Gifts
Many families choose to ask that charitable gifts be made in memory of their loved one in lieu of flowers. The online gift form provides a place to indicate who the gift remembers, or gifts can be mailed to Grace Cottage with a note indicating that it is in memory of the individual.
Foundation staff can assist families in establishing memorial gifts and the appropriate language for an obituary. Or family can include a simple statement such as “In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be made to Grace Cottage Hospital. Memorial gifts may be made online or sent to Grace Cottage Foundation, P.O. Box 1, Townshend, VT 05353.”
Tribute Gifts
Tributes—a gift in honor of someone—not only support Grace Cottage, but also provide unexpected recognition to the person honored. The gift may be in honor of a special occasion, to recognize extraordinary care, or to honor a special person. The online gift form provides a place to indicate who the gift honors, or gifts can be mailed to Grace Cottage with a note indicating that it is in honor of the individual.
Notifications
For memorial and tribute gifts, if you wish us to notify the individual(s) you are honoring or their family members about your gift, please include their name and addresses with your gift. We customarily report the names of the gift-givers, but not the amount.
