Charitable Gifts

How to Give

Charitable gifts of any amount go a long way toward helping a community health center give top quality care and treatment to its large patient population. Since StayWell Health Care, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, your gift will be tax-deductible.

Capital Campaign

Thanks to the generous support of our community partners, StayWell was able to move into our new building and purchase equipment and furniture. We thank the following donors:
        American Savings Foundation
        Connecticut Community Foundation
        Naugatuck Saving Bank Foundation
        The Leever Foundation
        Watertown Foundation, Inc.

In August 2006, the “Opening New Doors to Health Care” Capital Campaign was launched. This capital campaign plan was designed to support the purchase of The Phoenix Professional Plaza (80 Phoenix Avenue) located in the North End of Waterbury. This site combined the 2 sites located in the North End of Waterbury in an integrated way that created efficiency in operation costs, improved service delivery and expanded access. In November 2004, StayWell completed the move from their former site located at 232 North Elm Street and successfully settled into their new location located at 80 Phoenix Avenue.

Sponsorship opportunities through the “Opening New Doors to Health Care” campaign are still available. Sponsors will have naming privileges based on level of sponsorship such as sponsorship of an entire suite (i.e. Pediatric Suite), a room within a suite (an examination room in the Women’s Health suite), equipment (chairs for the Adult Medicine waiting room), etc.

Memorial and Tribute Gifts

A memorial and tribute contribution to a local community health center provides a special opportunity to let family and friends know they are being remembered.

A memorial gift is a thoughtful and caring way to express sympathy while sharing concern for the health and well being of others.
In 2006, the Benjamin “Buddy” Fabian Memorial Fund was established to honor the memory of this beloved StayWell employee by his family, co-workers and friends. At the request of the Fabian family, this memorial fund was merged into StayWell’s “Opening New Doors to Healthcare’ capital campaign.

In 2007, family and friends honored the memory of Louise Fasono by establishing a memorial fund. Funds from the Louise Fasono Memorial Fund were used to establish a nutritional program for the students of Driggs Elementary School to honor the former cafeteria worker.
A tribute gift to a community health center provides the unique opportunity to honor special people on birthdays, graduations, weddings and other memorable occasions. It is a great way to show a family member or friend that you share and respect their love for the health and happiness of all individuals within the community.

Gifts can be targeted in specific ways such as:

patient fund,
operating cost,
staff training,
medical supplies,
parenting programs,
new equipment,
a specific area, such as asthma, diabetes care or dental services,
a specific population, such as children, pregnant women or adults.
