"My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there."
- Charles F. Kettering
Thank you for your generous and forward-thinking interest in improving the health of individuals, families and entire communities in Western Ohio. Helping you to fulfill your passion by connecting your interests to the most appropriate opportunities and favored projects is our mission and our sincere pleasure at Kettering Health Foundation.
Whether you were inspired by the nurse who held your hand during chemotherapy, the doctor who saved your life, or the professor who sparked your passion for a new career path, we want to partner with you to make your vision a reality.
Gift planning gives you the opportunity to build the future that you want to see, and we look forward to working with you to fulfill your vision. Your thoughtful and generous gifts will improve the health and wellbeing of many by providing direct support for patients, families, and students through programs like:
- The Women's Wellness Fund, providing mammograms, diagnostic tests, and other cancer support services for women who can't afford them
- Kettering College scholarships providing support to scores of Kettering College students
- Investment in the latest technological advancements that provide our patients and our community with cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment options
- Helping Kettering Health employees via employee assistance and continuing education programs
- Kettering College Student Assistance Fund can reduce the burden of unexpected financial challenges for a student.
You can make a difference in the life of a student and for the future of healthcare.
