Leave a Lasting Legacy
We all have a desire to build something that will last beyond our time. Building and growing an exceptional healthcare system for future generations can be a part of your legacy. With your commitment today, the future of healthcare in our community will be ensured for tomorrow and years to come.
Through estate planning, you have the power to make this community healthier and stronger, helping generations of Pioneer Valley families.
Bequests
We can work with you to include language in your will or trust to designate “Caring Health Center” as a beneficiary. There are several ways to do this:
- A dollar amount.
- A specific asset.
- A percentage of your estate.
- The remainder of your estate.
Retirement Plans & Insurance Policies
Donating your retirement assets, like a 401(k) or IRA, is an excellent strategy for fulfilling your charitable goals. Retirement assets left to family are often significantly depleted through estate and income taxes. By designating “Caring Health Center” as the beneficiary:
- The full value of the gift is transferred to the health center tax free.
- Your estate receives a charitable deduction.
Gifting a life insurance policy can also greatly reduce your taxable estate while creating a lasting legacy in your community. We’re available to answer your questions and work hand-in-hand with you to customize a plan to fit your needs.
If you are not certain which option best suits your interests or if you have questions, please contact Yvonne Williams, Chief of Development at 413-739-1100 ext 2506 or via email at ywilliams@caringhealth.org.
