About Us

The Office of Development is the link between what is needed by the community and what is possible in health care. Our place is where continual growth is possible, and we see every day that what we do here matters.

Greenwich Hospital’s Office of Development works with hospital leadership and members of our community to secure the philanthropic resources necessary to drive forward progress and innovation in health care. Thanks to these visionary leaders, Greenwich Hospital is ideally positioned to bring the most compassionate and advanced medical care to all we serve.

Greenwich Hospital is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Tax ID # 06-0646659. The process of soliciting charitable gifts is guided at all times by the principles of professional ethics and good stewardship that recognize the importance of satisfying the donor’s wishes, while raising funds to meet the hospital’s needs.
