There are several ways you can contact us:
Yes, you will receive a gift receipt for every transaction. If making your gift online, your receipt will be included in the email notifying you that your payment has been processed successfully. If making your gift via a check and sending by U.S. mail, you will receive a receipt in the mail.
We do offer recurring giving options. Donors have the option to schedule payments monthly, quarterly or annually. The payments will stop when your commitment has been filled (or if your credit card expires or the number changes). You will receive an email notification from Temple if a payment fails to process due to a credit card problem.
To set up a recurring gift via our online form, click on the “Make scheduled payments” option and fill out the required sections. You will have the option to schedule notification emails to remind you when your card will be charged. We recommend opting in for these emails because they allow you to edit the details of your payment using a secure URL.

All gifts received via U.S. mail must be postmarked by December 31 to count for the current tax year. Online gifts must be completed by midnight central time on December 31. Stock transfers must be fully executed by December 31.
A growing number of friends are creating a lasting legacy at Temple Health by leaving a gift in their will or trust, or by beneficiary designation through a retirement account or life insurance policy. No legacy gift amount is too small, and you’re not locked into your decision. Other legacy gifts provide reliable payments back to you or a loved one for life, or unlock the value of existing assets.
