The heart of Planned Giving is people! People who wish to reflect a sense of community, to benefit others for years to come, to make a difference to their world and to create a lasting testimony.

Thank you for your interest in health care. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information.

Planned Giving is a very effective way for you to help others while providing a wise investment for your future. Your gift may one day benefit you or a loved one.

A bequest in your Will is the most common way to make a planned gift. Designating your Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary in your will is a direct way for you to help others in your community. Your gift may be cash, securities or other property. Your estate would receive a tax receipt for the value of your bequest.

There are many ways to help your hospital:

  • A gift in your Will
  • Shares & Investments
  • Trusts
  • Life Insurance
  • A planned gift can be tax effective and at the same time balance your needs and your family’s. It can allow you to leave a lasting personal legacy.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. We are indebted to our donors who have the foresight and vision to make a gift for a healthy future. Click on your hospital name under “ALL HOSPITAL FOUNDATIONS” on how to contact your local hospital foundation.

It is a good idea to discuss your charitable donation plan and its tax advantages with your financial advisor or tax professional.

Please support your local hospital with their project!
