Perhaps the most common type of gift is cash.  It provides the donor with a simple, straightforward way to support Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center’s work.  Cash gifts may be given immediately or pledged over a number of months or years.  Your gift is fully deductible, up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income.  If your gift totals more than the 50 percent limit, you can carry over the excess portion for up to five tax years.
