What is Directed Outreach?
Deerfield is committed to making life in Western
North Carolina better. To support our residents
in their charitable giving, and to keep track of
our social accountability as a community, you
can make gifts to other not-for-profit 501(c)(3)
charitable organizations through Deerfield’s Fund
Development office. We will acknowledge your
tax-deductible contribution with a tax receipt.
On the last day of each month, we will combine
your gift with those of other residents and send it
on to the various organizations listing your name,
address, amount, memory/honor information
and restrictions.
“We need to give.
We all need a
place to put our
gratitude.”
– Mary
In addition to the organizations listed here
with whom Deerfield has established giving
relationships, you may also direct donations
through Deerfield to 501(c)(3) organizations that
either operate within Western North Carolina,
are focused on health or elder issues, or are
otherwise aligned with Deerfield’s mission. Gifts
to churches, including St. Giles, and non-local
schools and colleges should be made directly to
those institutions and not through Deerfield. If you
have any questions about whether an organization
qualifies for this program, please ask.
NOTE: Deerfield does not withhold any fees for this service.
Giving in Ways that Benefit
the Deerfield Community
In addition to Directed Outreach which benefits
those in the community at large, you may also
give in ways that are meaningful to folks here at
Deerfield.
Our Promise is Forever
Deerfield’s leadership has made a life-long
commitment to its residents that they can
continue to live here regardless of their ability to
pay. The Residents Assistance Fund provides aid
to help those who need financial assistance.
Giving to it is a great way to care for your less
fortunate neighbors.
The Danny Boone Scholarship Fund is a ministry
to aid deserving Deerfield employees who are
pursuing higher education. The fund grants
scholarship aid for each term and has helped
numerous staff members advance in their
careers through learning.
The Healthcare Fund advances the initiatives in
Deerfield’s Assisted Living and Skilled Care areas
as we move away from the institutional model
towards more individualized care. This fund is
used to purchase specialized equipment, train staff,
and pursue other goals to continually improve the
quality of care for our residents.
Gifts can be made directly to Deerfield, restricted
to a specific purpose or unrestricted. You may also
give in memory of someone who has died or in
honor of someone you wish to acknowledge. The
Fund Development office will promptly notify
family members or honorees of gifts given in the
name of others.
Have you considered making a gift to Deerfield or
another charity in your will? For more information on
Planned Giving, see Cheryl Gettinger in Deerfield’s
Fund Development office.
