Supporting Our Mission
1956 Fund
These gifts are vital to the healthcare system because they allow us to fund our most immediate patient care needs. Unrestricted gifts also provide funding for new ideas and strategic initiatives.
Employee’s Commitment to Giving Back
"At NCH, I find it rewarding to participate in employee giving to support the community through our organization. Signing up for payroll deduct was one of the first actions I took upon being hired in 2020. What I give is not a large amount each pay cycle, but I know my gift combined with others will provide significant benefits and impact. NCH plays a critical role in the health of our community, and this is my way of supporting our mission."

NCH Employee Giving Frequently Asked Questions
About Employee Giving
- Why give? Philanthropy is one way to express gratitude for NCH and care for your colleagues. It’s not how much you give; it’s about championing our mission by participating.
- What is the goal? Our goal is to have all employees make a gift to support the mission of NCH – no matter the dollar amount.
- When is the best time to give? Employee giving is encouraged throughout the year. Gifts can be made in many ways, including payroll deduction, or in participation at special events such as the NCH Ball.
Questions about My Gift
- How much should I give? Any amount goes a long way when all employees give collectively. Signing up for payroll deduction is the best way to make a lasting impact in a manageable way.
- Will others know how much I give? No, the exact amount of your gift will not be publicized. Depending on your giving level, you may be recognized as a member of a giving circle or society on the website, signage or other NCH publications, but you always have the option to remain anonymous.
- Can my gift be designated to a specific department? Employee giving supports the 1965 Fund by providing unrestricted funds to the areas of greatest need. It provides critical support to funds programs in patient care, capital projects, equipment, clinical research and medical education. You may choose to designate your gift to the department or service line of your choice.
- How do I find a payroll deduction form to make my gift? A convenient way to make tax-deductible gifts year-round is by using the payroll deduction form at nchmd.org/XX. Email a completed for to philanthropy@nchmd.org
- Is my donation tax deductible? Yes, NCH is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. 100% of all donations go toward our healthcare system, enhancing the facilities we work in, the services we provide and the programs we are passionate about.
- I already give to the United Way campaign and/or other external community campaigns, such as the American Heart Walk. Doesn’t that money go to NCH? Why should I give an additional gift? All of these campaigns support Collier County, but your gifts to these causes do not support NCH directly. Your support of NCH will uplift the patient’s experience and redefine what it means to be an advanced community health system.
Why is My Gift Important?
- Why are gifts from employees important? Gifts from employees are important and powerful because they demonstrate that those closest to our organization invest in the mission themselves. When employees contribute financially, it sends a strong message to our community and increases the likelihood of them giving.
- What is the Campaign to Transform NCH? The Campaign to Transform NCH is a multi-million-dollar fundraising initiative – the biggest undertaking in NCH history. The transformation is about making our community a healthier place for everyone. The work we’re doing will improve access to the highest quality, best outcomes in health care available – anywhere – to our friends and neighbors here in Collier County.
Philanthropy is a critical component that helps ensure we have the resources necessary to care for our patients and the community. - Who do I contact if I have questions about my gift or the employee giving? Please call the Center for Philanthropy at (239) 624-2000 or email philanthropy@nchmd.org
