Ways to Give

Individual Giving

Individual gifts of all sizes make it possible for Shodair Children’s Hospital to provide children and their families the best mental health treatment available.

There are several ways to make charitable donations to the Montana Children’s Foundation (MCF). Gifts can be restricted, which means they are designated for specific programs or departments within the hospital, or they can be unrestricted, which will benefit areas where the need is the greatest. For special occasions or to celebrate or remember the life of a loved one, donors may make tribute donations. There are also several naming opportunities available throughout the hospital. MCF honors each donor and acknowledges all donations.

For more information about individual giving, contact Becca Dudek at (406) 444-7548 or via email at bdudek@shodair.org.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts are charitable contributions made by taking into consideration not just your philanthropic objectives, but also your personal and family financial goals as well. A planned gift is one of the most personal ways to give, and it will ensure that your legacy with Shodair Children’s Hospital and the Montana Children’s Foundation will last forever.

The Shodair Children’s Hospital and Montana Children’s Foundation (MCF) family are always preparing to meet the challenges of tomorrow. By leaving your legacy for future generations of children, we will surely meet those needs. We will work with you and your professional advisors to design the right charitable gift plan that can address a number of planning and tax issues while meeting your financial goals. Working as a team, we will structure a plan that will benefit you, your family, and the children of the future.

Tribute Giving

Honor the remarkable people in your life by making a tribute donation to Shodair Children’s Hospital. Tribute donations allow you to recognize special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, and graduations, or to memorialize a loved one who is no longer with us.

There are several ways to pay tribute by donating to Shodair.

Memorial Donations: Honor a special life and show support by making a memorial donation. Following your donation, a card is mailed to a family member or designated person to inform them of your thoughtful gift. The gift amount is always kept private.

Honor Donations: Celebrate a special accomplishment such as the end of treatment, or a graduation, anniversary, or birthday. Or thank someone who has made a difference in your life by making a donation on their behalf. We will send a card to the honoree to inform him or her of your thoughtful gift.
