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.
Tell us in 100 words or less why your local Hospital is special or write about an experience you or your family has had with your local hospital. This contest is open to all children and adults in Huron, Perth, Bruce, Grey and Wellington counties.
