SUPPORT VNA
: GIFT OPTIONS |
 |
To benefit all programs of the
Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice
Monetary Gift
A cash gift is the most common and simplest type of
charitable gift. These gifts can be made with cash,
check, payroll deduction, monthly bank draft or a major
credit card. A monetary gift gives YOU an income tax
deduction and VNA receives immediate financial support.
Please make checks payable to CCVNA Foundation.
Memorials and Tributes
Remembering a loved one, a special person, or one who
has passed away is a wonderful tribute to include with
your monetary gift. These gifts say so much about your
regard and love. Memorials lift the spirit of families
when they have lost a loved one. Flowers fade, but
memorials and honorariums have a lasting quality that
they will never forget. The person or family you
designate will receive notification of your contribution
(with no amount mentioned) and you will receive a
receipt for your tax-deductible gift.
Marketable Securities
This is a popular type of donation. There are advantages
to giving publicly traded stocks, shares in mutual funds
and certain other assets. Many securities may be worth
much more than what you paid for them in past years. As
appreciated property, they can be a very attractive
charitable gift. Our nation's tax laws offer special
incentives that reduce taxation of capital gains for
these gifts.
Life Insurance
Consider donating a policy with cash surrender value
that you no longer require for its original purpose. You
may also have an employer-provided group life insurance
policy-- name CCVNA Foundation as the
beneficiary.
Real Estate or other Appreciated Assets
An outright gift of unencumbered real estate or other
appreciated assets (i.e. art) can give substantial tax
savings and save you the bother of selling. If property
does have a mortgage, sometimes we can still structure
the gift to give you certain tax advantages. Bargain
sale-- by arranging a sale of real property to CCVNA
Foundation below fair market value, you may secure a
deduction for the gift portion while reducing potential
capital gains tax.
Estate Gifts: Wills, Bequests, and the VNA Legacy
Society
A bequest in your will is a very thoughtful and simple
way to remember VNA. You may choose to designate VNA to
receive a percentage of your estate, or a designated
cash amount. VNA’s planned giving officer (without
obligation) can help you prepare a thoughtful and clear
accounting of your wants and wishes in regards to
possible estate plan options that can then be discussed
with your legal and/or financial council. For more
information, contact the CCVNA Foundation Planned Giving
Officer:
call 831-372-6668 and ask for the Development
Department.
