GIVING BACK — Charitable gift planning, in concert with your long-term financial and estate planning, offers many benefits. Your gift of any size, pooled with others, helps the Medical Center meet critical needs, and changes lives.

Wills & Living Trusts

Leave a lasting legacy to your community by naming the Medical Center as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. Your gift can be in honor of, or in tribute to, a loved one.

Life-Income Gifts

You can increase your retirement income, receive a tax deduction, and support the vital Medical Center program of your choice with a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.

Gifts of Real Estate

Avoid capital gains taxes and reduce estate taxes by giving appreciated real estate. Rid yourself of the hassles of being a landlord by donating rental property. Create a new stream of income by placing an unused vacation home, or other property, in a trust that pays you for life.

Cashless Gifts

Preserve your cash flow and make a significant philanthropic contribution without writing a check! You can name the Medical Center as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or insurance policy.

Legacy Society

Supporters who contribute through a planned gift are eligible to join the Legacy Society and receive membership benefits and recognition.
