Every year, more than 1,000 individuals, businesses, corporations, and foundations make contributions to the Centra Foundation to support the services, programs and facilities of Centra . Donors can make unrestricted gifts to fund numerous Foundation projects and programs, or they can make a restricted gift to fund a specific project or program.

Gifts to the Centra Foundation improve the current health care facilities and programs in our region and ensure that we meet the health care needs of future generations.

The Centra Foundation accepts outright cash gifts to the Annual Fund as well as major gifts for specific projects. Many donors give a planned gift made out of a donor's assets rather than from current income.

A planned gift can benefit the donor and his or her family by conserving assets, increasing lifetime income and often providing substantial savings in income, gifts and estate taxes. Planned gifts are made through a transfer vehicle. They include bequests, annuities, trusts, and other gift arrangements.
