Ways to Give
Your generous support, along with that of our other donors and partners in philanthropy, allows St. John’s Healthcare Foundation to raise, manage and distribute funds in support of the mission and values of St. John’s Regional Medical Center and St. John's Hospital Camarillo. Your gift directly impacts the lives of others in your community, providing program and services that might not otherwise be available, as well as helping us to provide the highest quality of care in Ventura County.

Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies St. John's Healthcare Foundation of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs. Give from my DAF.
Gifts in Kind
Individuals and organizations often support the hospitals with gifts in kind, which are donated services or items of value to the hospitals. Contact us to find out what types of gifts in kind are currently needed.
IRA - Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts. Give from my IRA.
Stocks
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify St. John's Healthcare Foundation of your gift.
Humanitarian Gift Society
The Humanitarian Gift Society members see the value in St. John’s mission and help secure critical needs for those seeking care at our hospitals. Being a part of this important giving society is rewarding. You will be making a significant investment to ensure high-quality healthcare resources are available in your community. Learn more
