Celebrate or Remember Someone Special
Pay tribute to someone meaningful in your life through a gift in their honor. Whether for a friend, family member or even a physician or caregiver who made a significant impact on your care or the care of a loved one, tribute gifts create a lasting legacy while raising awareness of the individual’s contributions and influence.
Give in Memory of a Loved One
Memorial gifts are donations made in honor of someone who has passed away. Families often identify a preferred nonprofit partner — such as Houston Methodist — after a loved one’s passing. Contributions may be one‑time, recurring or designated to create a lasting fund, such as a scholarship.
Houston Methodist will provide a tax‑deductible receipt and notify the family of contributions received. Memorial gifts may be made in cash, appreciated securities or in‑kind assets, offering potential tax benefits while creating a lasting tribute.
Honor a Special Person or Occasion
Salute someone special or commemorate a significant occasion by making a tribute gift as a lasting expression of gratitude. Recognizing an individual or a milestone is a thoughtful and impactful way to applaud courage or join in celebration of a birthday, anniversary or achievement.
