Corporate Partners
Would your organization like to be:
- Recognized for its good citizenship,
- Respected for its support of the area's finest hospital,
- Co-branded with the best known Women's Health Center in Upstate
New York?
We can help you do that and more.
There are a number of opportunities throughout the year for corporate
involvement with the Foundation for Ellis Medicine. Whether your company
makes an outright gift, sponsors an event, or establishes a matching
gift program, your investment in Ellis Medicine sends a strong message
to those you do business with--you care about the health and well-being
of our community. Through our Corporate Philanthropy and Corporate
Sponsorships, we offer you many ways to become a partner with the
Foundation
for Ellis Medicine.
Corporate Philanthropy
A philanthropic partnership provides corporations the opportunity to
drive advances in cardiac services, orthopedics, neurology, and women's
care, that impact our families and neighbors, now and in the future.
- Ellis is proud, for the second year in a row, to be named a
Distinguished Hospital for Patient Safety, 2008 by HealthGrades, an
independent health care ratings company.
- Ellis Hospital is one of only three hospitals in the Capital
Region authorized by New York State to perform cardiac surgery.
HealthGrades ranks the Wright Heart Center at Ellis Hospital in the
top 10% nationwide for Coronary Intervention and the best in the
Capital Region for overall cardiac care.
- Ellis Medicine Orthopedic services are ranked in the top 5%
nationwide for overall Orthopedic Services and Spine Surgery.
Program-Specific Giving
While unrestricted gifts allow us to support our capital needs, you
can align your giving more precisely with your business objectives by
giving to one of our many programs or specialties. Stewart's Shops, for
example, supports the Sugar Free Gang, a summer camp program
for youth and teens learning to live with diabetes.
In-Kind Gifts
In-kind gifts of products and technology can be key to advancing the
lifesaving work of Ellis Medicine. It makes perfect sense to channel
products to the people who need them most. Nestle, for example, provides
infant formula for new moms. Donating printing, graphic design, or
consulting services or contributing goods such as prizes for events or
office supplies may be the most effective way for your company to
support the Foundation for Ellis Medicine.
Matching Gifts
Matching gifts support employees in their personal philanthropy and
encourages involvement in community organizations such as Ellis
Medicine. Matching gifts are strong incentives to your employees to
support Ellis Medicine and endears the company to its employees. In
addition, matching gifts allows you to fulfill corporate philanthropic
obligations, support a worthy organization, and receive a tax benefit.
General Electric employees and retirees, for example, contribute
annually to the many capital and program needs of Ellis Medicine. GE
matches these gifts dollar-for-dollar and provides more than $200,000
annually to Ellis Medicine.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring a Foundation for Ellis Medicine event is a powerful way to
associate your brand with our mission and values, while reaching a
targeted constituency. The benefits to your company are numerous and
include
- Media and promotional exposure
- Corporate recognition in event publications/invitations and web
- Signage and logo displays at events
- Unique networking and employee volunteer opportunities
- Inclusion of your company name on a hospital donor wall
