*Remembered
Not only do you have options for how your gift will be used, you also have options on what to give and how to give. There are gifts that cost you nothing now, gifts that pay you income, and gifts that allow you to decide what happens when.
Through a provision in your written and executed will, you can make a gift in the form of cash, securities, real estate or personal property. There are many types of bequests. Choose the one that best fits your needs and intentions.
Naming Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh, profit-sharing pension plan or other donor-advised funds, will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings.
You can turn underperforming assets (stock, cash in a savings account, CDs, savings bonds, etc.) into a gift to Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation that provides income to you. Your Charitable Gift Annuity will give you quarterly, fixed payments for life and tax benefits, too.
When you donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares instead of cash, you'll receive charitable deductions at full, fair market value while reducing capital gains impact.
If you're 70 ½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation . While there is no charitable deduction for a rollover gift, you do avoid the income tax on the donated portion of your required minimum distribution.
Like stock, the fair market value of gifts of appreciated assets such as real estate, artwork, and other well curated collections, can be deducted from your income tax today and reduce your estate taxes in the future.
Donors just like you have made a real impact just by adding a few words to their will or using one of the many giving options available.
And as a physician offering care at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr. Bering saw that appreciation returned from patients and community members.
"WellSpan Good Samaritan is a community hospital, and it should be supported by everyone in the community," he says. "I wish more people would contribute. Supporting the hospital means supporting our community."
Dr. Bering is following his own advice. Several years ago, he chose to include the hospital in his will, continuing the legacy of care he established as a practicing physician. He speaks humbly about his gift, but recognizes that every gift, no matter the size, has tremendous impact on WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital.
When you include Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation in your will or other estate plan, you make a gift that costs you nothing today. Contact us to explore your options and choose the gift that shows what's important to you.
