Your gift, no matter the amount, contributes to the success of our students and faculty. Charitable gifts help to prepare the next generation of nurses, many of whom work in medical facilities in the central Illinois area caring for our loved ones.

Student awards and scholarships are a wonderful way to help our hard-working students secure their future, achieve their dreams, and care for their patients with the highest level of competence and compassion. More details on these opportunities can be found here.

Gift officers at HSHS St. John’s Foundation are happy to assist you with your plans to contribute, regardless of the gift amount. Contributions can be made in the form of cash, check, credit card, appreciated stock or other assets. Please make checks payable to HSHS St. John’s Foundation, 800 E. Carpenter St., Springfield, IL 62769 and indicate your contribution is for St. John’s College of Nursing.

Planned Gifts & Bequest Language

Many donors find that through a planned gift they are able to make a significant philanthropic impact while saving tax dollars. Some gift planning strategies provide income to the donor while also benefiting the charitable organization, such as St. John’s College of Nursing.

When considering such a gift, consult your attorney or your financial advisor to ensure you accomplish your estate planning goals. The HSHS St. John’s Foundation can provide you with names of qualified estate planning professionals in the area should you need assistance.

The following language can be included in one’s will/trust or codicil: "I give (written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property) to HSHS St. John’s Foundation, a Division of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis Foundation, 800 E. Carpenter St., Springfield, IL 62769, to provide funding for St. John’s College of Nursing.”
