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 (2025 & 2026), our Greene Backer campaign is seeking donations for a new MRI, a nearly $2.2 million dollar project that will allow patients to receive an MRI at Greene County Medical Center every business day, instead of just a couple times a month with the mobile truck. 

A Clear Picture of Healthcare Starts with 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.

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.
