Other ways to give
Corporate Annual Giving: Companies can make unrestricted contributions annually which allow us to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, renovate patient care areas, and expand programs and services beyond the provisions of our annual budget.
Grants: Companies may provide grant support toward one or more of our community-based education or healthcare service programs. Program support offers companies a means to align their core values and business objectives with an important healthcare initiative.
Cause-Marketing: Cause-marketing is a sales tool with many benefits. Financial increases are seen in cause-marketing efforts for both the company and ECHN. In addition, important visibility is obtained for ECHN's advocacy efforts. These joint fundraising initiatives promote your company's product or service and generate goodwill among both consumers and employees.
Employee Giving: A strong employee-based philanthropy program has proven to have significant impact on employee morale, retention and recruitment efforts. Engaging your employee base in a joint effort to improve the health of the community while raising funds for ECHN produces results. There are a variety of ways to build a program for your employees with ECHN. Group activities, events, volunteer opportunities and fundraisers all can be customized to your business size and demographics. Through payroll deduction, employees may choose their own continued level of giving with their donation going directly to ECHN.
Event Sponsorship: A powerful marketing opportunity to connect your brand with community health.

In recognition of Heart Health Month, Burton's Grill at Evergreen Walk created a heart-healthy mango salmon dish and donated $5 of the cost of each plate to ECHN's Cardiac Rehabilitation Services. The dish was offered for the whole month, and only the month, of February. Laura Johnson, RN, Manager of the Rockville General Hospital Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services, invited her husband to join her at Burton's to try the mango salmon dish that was receiving rave reviews and had her photo taken with Frank Parzych, Manager of Burton's Grill, when she thanked him for supporting ECHN.
