Memorial/Honor GiftsHonor gifts are made to celebrate milestones, such as a birth, marriage or special anniversary. Memorial gifts are made in memory of a friend or loved one. All gifts should include complete addresses of both the donor, as well as the honoree or next of kin of the person being memorialized, so that they may receive appropriate acknowledgement of the gift. Annual Fund GiftsYearly cash gifts made to our annual fund campaign, which helps us meet our most critical needs within the hospital. For example, these gifts help us purchase new state-of-the-art medical equipment, and also fund new and existing programs to benefit the communities we serve. Planned Gifts and Estate PlanningDeferred giving enables a donor to maximize the beneficial impact to Lake Taylor and minimize or eliminate the capital gains and/or federal estate taxes on assets. Examples of planned gifts include stocks, bonds, life insurance policies, retirement plans (IRAs), and charitable remained trusts, gift annuities, endowments and bequests. Donation can take many forms — you may wish to consult with your accountant or tax attorney. |
