About our Foundation

St. James Healthcare Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization, was formed in 2003, and it operates to address three main purposes:

  1. To raise funds to augment capital purchases and program development at St. James Healthcare.
  2. To provide direct assistance to individuals and organizations in Butte and surrounding communities in relation to health care and healthy living.
  3. To conduct outreach and awareness activities to maintain St. James and its Foundation as visible community partners in improving the living experience of local citizens and visitors.

St. James Healthcare covers the administrative costs of the Foundation so 100 percent of associate and community contributions go directly toward helping people in need.

For more information about supporting quality healthcare in our community, contact the St. James Healthcare Foundation.

Many companies, local and national, will match employee contributions to 501c3 nonprofit organizations like St. James Healthcare Foundation. Check with your company's human resources or community relations department to see whether your employer will match your gift. You could double the value of your gift.

You will be mailed an acknowledgment and a receipt for your tax purposes and we will work with you to successfully complete and file any necessary documentation for your employer, and we will provide your employer with a letter of acknowledgment and tax receipt for its matching gift, as well.

You can make a gift in memory of a friend or loved one, in tribute to an extraordinary person or caregiver who has made a difference in your life, or to commemorate a special occasion. You can also restrict your gift to benefit programs or services that you find valuable or allow the foundation to determine the area of greatest need.

When you make a memorial or tribute gift, we will acknowledge your gift with a receipt and we will also send a note to the person or the family of the person you are memorializing or honoring to let them know about your kindness. Memorial and tribute gifts of all sizes are appreciated, and we will not share the size of any gift with the individual or family members of the individual being memorialized or honored.

The St. James Healthcare Foundation accepts gifts of real estate, including houses, condominiums, commercial properties, farmland, rental property, and undeveloped land after a thorough review of the property and its potential usage by the foundation. Prior to the acceptance of any parcel of real property, as a minimum, a Phase 1 environmental assessment of the potential environmental risks will be conducted. For all gifts of real estate, the Gift Acceptance Committee will review the results of such assessment and recommend to the appropriate administrators and Board Committees whether the gift should be accepted.

One way to boost your charitable contributions is to give shares of appreciated assets, including stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, art and real property.

They are easily valued without an appraisal, and easy to transfer. Donating appreciated securities before they are sold typically results in a tax advantage. A tax deduction is normally allowed based on the market value at the time of the gift. Since the deduction is based on current value, rather than cost, no tax is paid on the appreciation.

All gifts will be reviewed by the foundation’s Board of Directors for compliance with our policies before being accepted.
