Ways to Give
We are working hard to build an even better Bethlen that includes upgrading our equipment and facilities, increasing access to training for our care team, and incorporating cutting-edge technology into our daily operations – but we need your support to help execute our vision.
How else can your support make a difference? At Bethlen we put community and exceptional care above all else. We strive to provide compassionate care to our neighbors, no matter their financial situation, which is made possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Memorial/Honorary Gifts
Many donors choose to honor someone living or to memorialize a loved one who has passed with a gift to Bethlen Communities. Simply select the “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” choices on our Online or Mail in giving form, and include the name of the person you wish to remember.
-
Gifts-In-Kind
You may have an item of value that you would like to donate to Bethlen — an automobile, a piano, a valuable work of art or other collectibles.
-
Matching Gifts
Many employers generously offer to match employee gifts to qualifying charities. This is a great way to double the impact of your gift to Bethlen Communities. Contact your company’s human resources or personnel department and, when applicable, ask for a corporate matching gift form to include with your gift.
-
Planned Giving
Many donors elect to make a legacy contribution to Bethlen Communities through their estate. Planned Giving includes bequests, charitable gift annuities, gifts of insurance, IRA gifts, trusts, and more. Each gift offers a tax benefit and some also provide a protected stream of income for the donor.
-
IRA Gifts
By naming Bethlen Communities as the beneficiary of a retirement plan, donors can avoid the double taxation on IRAs and other employee benefit plans.
Have Questions about Gifting?
At Bethlen, we do not take your donations lightly or for granted. We know that choosing a method of donation can elicit questions. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Bethlen’s team, who are available to address any comments or concerns that you may have.
