There are opportunities for donors to provide support for one-time equipment and facility needs for the hospital and nursing home. If you or your family would like to make a gift to meet one of those needs, in full or in part, please call the Foundation office at (716) 592-2871 ext. 1485.

Leave a Legacy

Include the Foundation in your will or estate plan by talking to your attorney or financial planner, and share those wishes with your family and advisors. Or, consider naming the Foundation as a beneficiary for your life insurance policy.

United Way

If your employer participates in the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County annual campaign, you can direct your gift through that to the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Foundation.

Donate Your Cans and Bottles

When dropping of cans and bottles for deposit at the Can Man in Springville, ask that those nickels be applied to the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Foundation. Those cents add up each month!

Payroll Deduction

BCH and JBR employees can participate in payroll deduction, starting at any time during the year. The average gift each payroll is about $5, and any amount each paycheck can add up to a meaningful gift. Ask HR or Kelly Campbell for a form or for more information.

Gifts in Kind

Do you have extra time during the week? Is your volunteer or civic organization looking for a service project? Would your business be willing to offer its services or expertise in a meaningful way? If the answer to any of those questions is “yes,” the Foundation wants to hear from you! Please call (716) 592-2871 ext. 1485.
