Support Samaritan

The average cost for a visit in our clinic is $200. The suggested patient donation for this compassionate, comprehensive care is $20. It is your generous support that makes this possible.

Your support matters. 94% of our patients are uninsured or underinsured. They come to us through the public schools, fellow health agencies, and local churches. They are essential workers, parents, children, and friends.

We believe that our whole community flourishes when all of its members flourish. You’re helping us save lives.

Other Ways to Give

Please mail checks to our address: Samaritan Health Center, PO Box 51339, Durham, NC 27717
Giving appreciated stocks and mutual funds is a great way to maximize your giving because you receive an immediate income tax deduction for the full fair market value of securities you transfer that you’ve held for at least one year. In addition, you pay no capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value. Consult with your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your particular situation and confirm tax benefits.

How to Give

To improve efficiency, Samaritan Health Center has partnered with the National Christian Foundation (NCF) to process gifts of marketable securities, such as stocks, mutual funds, or bonds, directly.
If you’d like to give a stock, mutual fund, bond, or marketable security gift, please download this pdf to inform NCF of your giving intent.
If you are interested in giving restricted securities, stock options, or matching gifts from your employer, please contact Kathryn Williams at kwilliams@ncfgiving.com or (919) 438-0350.
IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

If you are over 70-1/2 years old, then you may distribute directly from your IRA to Samaritan Health Center. This amount can be counted towards the IRA’s annual required minimum distribution. Consult with your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your particular situation and confirm tax benefits.
Here are a few articles that explain the process:
