LUCY WEBB HAYES FOUNDERS CIRCLE

Sibley established the Lucy Webb Hayes Founders Circle to honor individuals who have made gift commitments to Sibley through their estate plans. These types of planned gifts include bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, retained life estate agreements, and gifts of life insurance.

The Founders Circle is named in memory of Lucy Webb Hayes, the first president of the Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church who established a national training school for deaconesses and missionaries. The society provided much of the initial funding and vision for the school, which was later named Sibley Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Hayes was the wife of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States and a tireless advocate for the distressed and underprivileged.

The Foundation is deeply grateful to these donors for their generosity and foresight in planning for the future of the hospital.

Note: The full legal name for the hospital is "The Lucy Webb Hayes National Training School for Deaconesses and Missionaries Conducting Sibley Memorial Hospital."
