Cupola Society

The Cupola Society? Building Legacy Where Legacies are built.

The Bassett Healthcare Network was built through the combined Legacy of many generous community leaders, Physicians, and pioneers.

The Friends of Bassett Cupola Society acknowledges and honors donors who have included The Friends of Bassett in their legacy gift plans. The Cupola Society recognizes the foresight and generosity of these donors who demonstrate their belief in Bassett's future and the need to support healthy rural communities by making significant bequests and other legacy gifts.

Members of the Cupola Society receive special recognition, such as listings in the organization's Annual Report, as well as opportunities to take part in exclusive events.

In the coming months, the Friends of Bassett will focus on organizing the Cupola Society leadership to help determine the future of the society.  One of the initiatives is to work with Cupola Society leaders and members to identify, nominate, and cultivate a Trusted Advisors community. The Friends is expanding its outreach to the professional advisory community, other foundations, and charities in their service region. The goal is to collaborate with these stakeholders to foster meaningful community growth. The society seeks the assistance of its members in identifying trusted advisors who can provide guidance and support to potential donors, the community, and advisors themselves, enabling them to explore meaningful planning ideas and community investment opportunities.

We honor the numerous donors who have given generously to the Friends of Bassett as a part of their legacy or who have included Friends of Bassett in their Legacy plans:
