What it means to give a giftEleanor Vinch has been a Capital Health patient and volunteer for more than 40 years. After two decades of contributing her time doing everything from pushing the candy cart to chairing the Auxiliary's Student Nurse Committee to assisting with Capital Health Foundation operations, Eleanor appreciates the importance of making a financial contribution to Capital Health-above and beyond her significant volunteer hours. For years, Eleanor has made annual gifts to support Capital Health's mission. Some time ago she included Capital Health Foundation in her will thereby becoming a member of the Heritage Society. Recently, Eleanor decided to enjoy the benefits offered by a charitable gift annuity and made a gift to the Foundation that provides her with fixed payments for life and tax savings.Capital Health Foundation offers its sincere appreciation for Eleanor's generosity and vision and welcomes your inquiry about the variety of ways in which to support Capital Health. Please call Melinda Gorny McAleer at 609.815.7235 to discuss your interest. Guaranteeing Income with a Gift that Pays You BackYou have undoubtedly read at least one moving story about a donation to a local hospital by a grateful patient, family member, or friend. No matter the size of the gift, each of these stories is significant.What you may not know is that you yourself may be in a position to make a significant gift to Capital Health Foundation and receive guaranteed income for the remainder of your life and, if you so choose, that of your beneficiary's. Through a charitable gift annuity, you may transfer an asset such as cash, stock, or some other property to Capital Health Foundation. The Capital Health Foundation will then invest that asset and pay you a steady and fixed income. Regardless of interest rates or the stock market's performance, your payments are contractually guaranteed. This steady stream of income, the income tax deduction associated with your contribution, the possibility of avoiding capital gains, and the rate offered by charitable gift annuities—generally higher than the current CD rate—combine to make a charitable gift annuity a convenient and tax-wise way to make a significant gift to Capital Health Foundation. |
