Ways to Help

Grateful Patient and Family

Exceptional care, simply delivered, isn’t just Community’s motto. It’s our way of life. This caliber of care is possible thanks to both the expertise of our caregivers and the generous gifts of grateful patients and their families.

Donations to Community Health Network Foundation fund a wide range of innovative healthcare programs that are making a direct impact in the lives of Hoosiers across Central Indiana. We invite you to learn more about an area or program you would like to support by visiting Our Impact section.

Make a Gift

Thank you for considering a gift of cryptocurrency. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support your favorite causes.

Physician Giving

Community’s physicians are driven by a desire to help others. As a non-profit health system, financial support from physicians further Community’s impact on our patients across Central Indiana.

Physician giving funds annual projects that are critical to both the advancement of Community Health Network and the health of our patients. Support from generous Community physicians to the Wrege Endowment and additional programs makes a profound difference in providing expert and exceptional care, simply delivered. The impact of these programs is great and includes financial assistance for access to necessary medications, training to save lives from drug overdoses, support to victims of violence, abuse and neglect through the Center of Hope, scholarships for promising medical students and free health screenings at the INShape Black and Minority Health Fair.
