Supporting Healthcare in our Communities
The Genesis HealthCare Foundation supports our community by raising funds for Genesis HealthCare System. We're a 501(c)(3) corporation and we're governed by a volunteer board of directors who are business, civic, educational and religious leaders representing our community.
The Foundation’s mission is: To promote charitable support for Genesis HealthCare System and share its mission “to provide compassionate, quality healthcare.” The Foundation works toward that goal by encouraging and overseeing gifts, grants, bequests and donations from private citizens, businesses and organizations.
Your contributions to Genesis make a difference. In these times of economic turmoil, you have continued to support us as we provide compassionate, quality care to those who live in our communities, and we are grateful.
Annually, the foundation receives support from estates established years ago by very generous individuals interested in making a lasting difference on the quality of healthcare within our community.
We are also fortunate to have the support of volunteers who raise money each year through special events such as the ProAm Golf Tournament and other events. Other sources of revenue include memorial contributions and grants.
A copy of the foundation's financial statements and IRS Form 990 may be viewed at the corporate office, 1135 Maple Ave., Zanesville, OH 43701.
Since its inception in 1999 through the merger of the Bethesda Hospital Foundation and the Good Samaritan Medical Center Foundation, the Genesis HealthCare Foundation has provided over $65+ million in financial support to the community through life-saving projects and programs at Genesis HealthCare System.

Stated simply, a gift to Genesis is a gift to the community. When you make a contribution to the Genesis HealthCare Foundation, you are making a direct investment in the quality of life within our community.
To some, a gift to a foundation can seem as intangible as a drop of water in a river. Your dollars mingle with all the rest, flowing downstream toward an unknown purpose.
Not so with a contribution to the Genesis HealthCare Foundation. Each investment becomes part of the current that touches the lives of people throughout Southeastern Ohio. The Foundation works with a singularity of purpose – advancing the quality of health within our community.
Gift planning
Every gift makes a difference. Whether it is a modest gift or a gift to establish a fund, each contribution to the Genesis HealthCare Foundation helps our community’s health. Your financial advisors can help you pick the best option for you.

Ways to give
Stocks and bonds
Donating appreciated stock you have owned for over a year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting Genesis HealthCare Foundation.
Retirement assets
Retirement assets, including an employee retirement plan, IRA or tax-sheltered annuity, are an excellent gift. These assets can shield your heirs from taxes.
Gifts of business interests
As a business owner, you can build your business and accumulate wealth. You can also accomplish your philanthropic goals through charitable planning. A gift of your corporate stock or assets can provide you with tax and income benefits and further our mission.
Life insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can gift a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
Real estate
Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property, can make a great gift to our Foundation.
Donor-advised fund
A donor-advised fund can provide immediate tax benefits while making charitable giving easier for years.
Year-end giving
Year-end giving is more than helping others. It can also benefit the donor. Many contributions made during this period qualify for tax deductions.
Cash gifts
If you want your gift for the Genesis HealthCare Foundation to work immediately, cash might be best.
