Be a Greene Backer all year long or participate in the Annual Greene Backer campaign each fall. The Greene Backer campaign seeks community donations from individuals and businesses for support of needed equipment or service lines. 

This year (2026 & 2027), our Greene Backer campaign is seeking donations for new hospital beds that not only create a better patient experience with added comfort and safety features, but also assist our caregivers with delivering exceptional care, every day. 

A Better Bedside For You & By You

Join in supporting the Foundation and be a part of something that truly makes a difference in our communities, for the people we know, love and serve.

 Easy Ways to Donate!  

Honoring Care Givers

If you would like to make a gift honoring a staff member who was particularly helpful to you, we will present that employee with a gold heart lapel pin and a letter of appreciation.

Types of gifts include:

  • Bequests - through a will or other form of estate plan, a deferred gift can express an appreciation beyond current means.
  • Beneficiary - designating the Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance, an annuity or a will is a way to allow your gift to go beyond your lifetime.
  • Cash or check - always an acceptable donation in any amount.
  • Charitable Trust - various trusts can be used to extend the value to the donor and the Foundation.
  • Honarariums - gifts are often given in honor of another living friend, family member or community who has touched your life.  It's a concrete way to say, "thank you."
  • Memorials - many list the Foundation as the recipient of memorials after the death of a loved one.
  • Property - this can include a gift of securities, insurance policies and real estate.  In a rural community, it is quite common to include the Medical Center as a recipient of farm property. 
  • Securities - stocks, bonds and mutual funds can be donated.
  • Grain of all kinds.

As a 501(c) non-profit organization, gifts to the Greene County Medical Center Foundation can provide many tax-saving opportunities.  These can be discussed in more detail with your attorney or tax advisor.
