Didier Moritz, a patient of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Holy Cross Health, has donated a second $500,000 gift to the system’s foundation as a Charitable Gift Annuity, bringing his total contribution to $1 million.
Holy Cross Health is part of Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health.
A CGA provides Mr. Moritz with a guaranteed lifetime income while also supporting the hospital’s mission. After a donor passes, the remaining funds from the annuity will benefit Holy Cross Health Foundation’s mission directly, according to a Jan. 27 news release shared with Becker’s.
“Mr. Moritz’s generosity is truly extraordinary,” Laura Denoux, vice president and chief development officer of Holy Cross Health Foundation, said in the release. “His commitment ensures that Holy Cross Health can continue delivering compassionate, high-quality care for years to come. We are honored to recognize his leadership and the lasting impact his gift will have on our community.”
Mr. Moritz made his first $500,000 CGA gift to the foundation in 2024.
“I hope to continue to inspire other donors to consider a CGA or to make a generous donation of any kind,” Mr. Moritz said in the release. “Until my last breath, my wish is to have only $20 in my pocket, simply because my greatest dream and joy is seeing the impact and benefit of philanthropy on the community and others.”
