Does My Gift Make A Difference?

Throughout Archbold’s history, donations have made a significant impact on the quality of care and types of services offered to our citizens. A few specific areas where gifts have recently made a measurable difference are:

Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology Center

The Oncology Center was built with significant financial support from the Singletary family and many citizens in Thomasville and surrounding communities who wanted cancer care close to home. Since that time, gifts to the Archbold Foundation have established the Archbold Gamma Knife Center at the Oncology Center, helped add a state-of-the-art linear accelerator and expanded rural outreach programs.

Hospice of Southwest Georgia

Gifts help physicians and staff serve more patients and families with special needs that private insurance does not cover.

Archbold Scholarship Program

This program began because of a private contribution and grows to serve more students through gifts made to the program. Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing degrees in healthcare fields from accredited institutions. These students become Archbold employees upon completion of their degrees.

Tribute Gifts

Any gift to Archbold Foundation can be made in honor or in memory of a loved one, friend or business associate. In this way, your gift becomes a lasting tribute to that person. Contributions are often given:

In memory of a loved one, friend or business associate.
To cheer someone who is ill.
To honor a birthday, anniversary or other important occasion for a relative or friend.
As an outright gift from an individual, family or business.
Honor/ Memorial gifts can be made by contacting the Foundation office.

Endowment Gifts

Contributions to the Archbold Foundation become a part of the endowment fund unless otherwise designated by the donor. Endowment gifts are carefully invested by the Foundation board of trustees and a portion of the income from the endowment is distributed each year to areas within Archbold where the need is greatest.

Each gift made by a donor to the Foundation endowment is tax deductible within the limits set by law.

Designated Gifts

Donors can choose a specific area or program to designate gifts through the Archbold Foundation. Gifts can be designated, for example, to the Archbold Scholarship Program, Hospice of Southwest Georgia , Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology Center or other programs. All gifts for these areas are made through the Archbold Foundation.
