Planned Giving

Whether supported through an outright gift or planned gift, all programs are made possible through the generosity and commitment of people like you. A planned gift to St. Francis Hospital Foundation helps to ensure that future wholistic long-term care and rehabilitation services continue in a dignified, joyful and compassionate manner.

What are planned gifts… Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts of life insurance, pooled income funds, and charitable trusts.

Bequest
Many of our supporters make charitable gifts by naming St. Francis Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary in their wills.

Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our supporters no longer need their life insurance, that was purchased years ago to provide for children or other family members, and donate the policy to St. Francis Hospital Foundation.

Pooled Income Fund
Your gift of money, marketable securities, or both is invested together with similar gifts from other supporters.

Charitable Lead Trust
Individuals with very large estates can use a charitable lead trust to benefit the St. Francis Hospital Foundation and pass principal to family members with little or no tax penalty.

Gifts of Retirement Plans
Your IRA assets will be transferred to a charitable remainder trust, the trust will provide life income to the beneficiary, and then an eventual gift to St. Francis Hospital Foundation.
