Interactive Tools Available on NHF’s Website for Donors to Find Their Best Charitable Gift Planning Options
For Immediate Release:
July 28, 2010
(Alexandria, VA) – It can be hard to know what form of charitable giving will work best for someone. There are many variables to consider. Some, but not all, include:
- Would you like to make your gift in the near future or upon your death?
- Do you want immediate tax benefits or are you more interested in reducing estate taxes?
- Are you most interested in passing on assets to your children or your grandchildren?
The National Hospice Foundation is pleased to offer an online tool that allows potential donors to click through these and other questions, ending up with a recommended gift vehicle. This interactive tool can be extremely helpful in sorting through the wide range of options for charitable gifts and determining the best for each individual.
The tool is found on NHF’s planned giving page, which can be found at www.nationalhospicefoundation.org/planning. Donors wishing to explore making gifts NHF”s FHSSA Impact Fund, to support the work of FHSSA, should use the tool found on www.fhssa.org/planning.
“We know that many people are interested in supporting high-quality hospice care in this country. And many of them are very keen to give in ways that protect their income, offer deferred tax benefits, or provide a way to leave a lasting legacy,” says Pamala Bouchard, NHF’s executive director. “Our charitable gift planning program provides many ways for donors to achieve their goals. This tool is a great start in planning.”
Potential donors can view two inspiring videos by individuals who have chosen to speak publicly about their commitment to NHF.
- Ron Whisnant talks about his decision to name NHF as a beneficiary of his life insurance.
- Eleanor Blayney describes leaving a legacy for hospice through the first Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) to NHF.
