Our Volunteers

• Annual Support Committee
  Builds a base of support through a variety of programs which encourage large numbers of gifts in relatively small dollar amounts, typically under $1,000.

• ACE Club Committee
  Falls under the auspices of the Annual Support Committee and serves as the employee giving club for Frederick Regional Health System. FMH's caring employees have pledged over $250,000 to help support our Interventional Cardiology Program, the new Women's Center at FMH Crestwood and The Angel Fund (an employee assistance fund).

• Business and Industry Committee
  Establishes a closer relationship with the corporate community in order to strengthen communication, service programs and charitable support.

• Planned Gifts Committee
  Provides service and education on tax, estate and financial planning to cultivate an environment that encourages estate gifts to FMH.

• Special Gifts Committee
  Identifies, cultivates, and solicits gifts for membership in the Order of the Good Samaritan, starting with gifts/pledges of $10,000 or more payable over a period of up to 10 years. In addition, the committee organizes and sponsors two events; one focused on identifying the annual Good Samaritan of the Year while the other is an education program that features a pertinent medical topic for our community.

• Signature Gifts Committee
  Identifies, cultivates, and solicits gifts/pledges of $25,000 or more payable over a period of up to five years. These gifts are recognized through naming opportunities.

The FMH Development Council is comprised of community leaders who volunteer their time and talents to help the Hospital achieve its charitable giving goals. The Council consists of 5 committees: Annual Support, Business and Industry, Planned Gifts, Special Gifts and Signature Gifts. Each committee is responsible for providing healthcare service and education to the community, development of recognition programs for donors, and generating cash/deferred gifts from individuals, businesses, and foundations.
