CHT manages five endowments that support CHT’s programs—however, these funds cover only about a third of the organization’s annual expenditures. Additional revenue from donations, grants, and sponsorships are critical to our financial stability.
Individual Giving
Over 90% of every dollar donated supports programs that help support a full quality of life for all Pajaro Valley residents. CHT is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code with the tax ID 94-1149702.

Legacy Gifts
You can leave a legacy that helps promote health and wellbeing now and into the future, particularly for those in need. There are several ways to give:
- Entrust your gift to one of our endowments. Our endowments exist to ensure that revenue is generated to support the work of the Community Health Trust in perpetuity.
- Make a planned gift that fits your life circumstances. Gifts via wills and living trusts are easy to arrange and may be changed at any time you choose. Please consult with your attorney or financial advisor for guidance specific to your situation but the following language may be helpful: “I hereby give, devise and bequeath ________________ to the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust d.b.a Community Health Trust of Pajaro Valley, a nonprofit organization located at 85 Nielson Street, Watsonville, CA 95076, Federal Tax ID #94-1149702, for the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust’s general use and purpose.”
- If you would like to ensure that your bequest will be used for a specific purpose, please let us know. We would be happy to work with you and your attorney to help identify ways to give and meet your charitable objectives. Contact Celeste DeWald, Development Director, at cdewald@pvhealthtrust.org.
