What are Planned Gifts?

A planned or deferred gift is a gift of any amount which usually requires the assistance of the donor’s professional financial advisor to complete.  In addition, it includes any gift which is carefully considered by donors in the context of their estate and financial plans.

Planned gifts can range from a simple bequest to a variety of plans that can provide income for the donor and/or a legacy for heirs.  Planned gifts are an excellent way to give, and their flexibility makes them popular.

Choosing to make a planned gift to the Health Trust can enhance your estate by helping you increase cash flow, reduce taxes and avoid the cost of probate.  Additionally, you can be relieved of capital gain tax when appreciated property is used to fund this type of gift.

Examples of Planned Gifts Include:

Bequests
