Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy of Care.
Planned Giving allows you to make a meaningful future gift to Hanover and District Hospital Foundation as part of your overall financial and estate planning. These gifts are thoughtfully arranged in advance and often provide significant tax advantages while ensuring your family and loved ones are cared for first.
Through Planned Giving, you can create a lasting legacy that supports patient care, essential equipment, and long-term hospital priorities for generations to come.
Leaving a Gift in Your Will (Bequest)
A bequest is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to support the Hanover & District Hospital Foundation. By including a gift in your Will, you ensure that exceptional healthcare remains available for future generations, while maintaining full control over your assets today.
Why Consider a Bequest?
- Tax Advantages: A charitable bequest can significantly reduce the taxes owed by your estate.
- Flexibility: You can choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residue.
- Lasting Impact: Your gift helps fund vital medical equipment and facility upgrades that save lives.
Donating Shares & Securities
Donating publicly traded stocks and securities is a highly tax-effective way to support the Hanover & District Hospital Foundation. By transferring shares directly, you avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value, allowing your charitable gift to go further in supporting rural healthcare excellence.
Other Ways to Plan Your Legacy
Gifting Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance is an affordable way to make a significant future impact for a relatively small current cost. You can name the Foundation as a beneficiary of an existing policy or purchase a new policy and transfer ownership to the Foundation for immediate tax benefits.
