Support Our Mission
McAdams Free Clinic was founded to respond to a community need: the need for free healthcare that transforms the lives of low-income, uninsured individuals.
About Us
The Clinic is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation, supported by donations, grants, and fundraisers.
In addition to financial donations, our clinic gladly accepts donations of office supplies, medical supplies, paper products, volunteer snacks, and bottled water.
Ways To Give
Gift of Stock
We are excited to announce a new way for you to make a bigger impact in a more tax-advantaged way by donating appreciated stock.
By donating stock, you may avoid capital gains tax while also deducting the current value of the gift.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers will match tax-deductible charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees and employees’ spouses. You can contact your company’s HR department for specific matching gift options offered.
Gift From Your IRA
Do you have a traditional IRA? Based on a number of factors, you may make a tax-free gift to the McAdams Free Clinic directly from your IRA.

There are a couple of ways for you to contribute:
- Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift. Your funds will be directly transferred to the McAdams Free Clinic.
