With a tribute gift, memories and events can make a more lasting impact. By establishing a tribute gift, you can invite others to be part of a cherished legacy or join you in making an important event even more meaningful. 

What is a Tribute Gift?

A tribute gift is made in recognition of a person or life event. It’s a powerful way to honor someone who has passed by contributing to a cause they cared deeply about. It’s also a great way to mark an important occasion, whether the event is in your life or the life of a family member.

In Memoriam Gifts 

  • In memoriam gifts are made in memory of a loved one who is no longer living.  
  • The gift pays tribute by raising funds for a cause that was important to them. 
  • The funds can be directed toward any Loma Linda University Health area of your choosing. This includes specific scholarships, areas of clinical care or mission programs. 
  • Make a one-time gift in memory of a loved one, or work with us to create a custom memorial giving page for you to share on social media or email. This helps you invite others to give in your loved one’s memory.  

In Celebration Gifts

A celebration tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor a birthday, graduation, wedding or professional achievement. Celebrate with a one-time gift to the fund of your choice, or invite others to share in your celebration by contributing. 

One-Time Tribute Gifts 

If you intend for a memoriam or celebration tribute to be a one-time gift, please select “one-time gift” and check the tribute box when using the giving form.

What Our Donors are Saying
“My son started coming to Loma Linda when he was two years old as a spina bifida patient. The care that he received here was wonderful. He was 27 when he passed away in 2009, and so I donated in his memory.”
