Give to Honor or Remember

Honor a Loved One

Honor and memory gifts are a thoughtful way to commemorate a special friend, colleague, family member, or healthcare provider. By making an honor or memory gift, you will be supporting an area of greatest need, or you can choose to direct your support to a specific program. The honoree or their family will be informed of your generous gift while keeping the donation amount confidential.

If you would like to direct memorial gifts to the Orange City Area Health Foundation in an obituary, please inform us who should be notified of any contributions we receive.

When honoring a cherished loved one, it may be comforting to consider using alternative phrases in an obituary or death notice. These phrases can gently guide survivors on how to express their love and support:

• Memorial contributions may be made to the Orange City Area Health Foundation…
• The family suggests sending memorial contributions to the Orange City Area Health Foundation…
• Should friends desire, contributions may be sent to the Orange City Area Health Foundation…
• As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to the Orange City Area Foundation…
• The family has designated the Orange City Area Foundation for memorial contributions.
• Flowers are welcome; Contributions may be sent to Orange City Area Foundation…

Families can use one of the suggested phrases to help reduce the confusion that often arises when designating gifts in memory of a loved one. Additionally, each donation can be made more specific by including area (such as Hospice or Prairie Ridge Care Center) if the family wishes to do so.

All gifts should be addressed to:
