Ways
to Give through the
St. Luke's Magic Valley Health Foundation
...enhancing the community’s healthcare through
philanthropy.
Today
we healed the sick.
Today we comforted the suffering.
And most precious and wonderful of all...
today we saved a life. Give so we can do more.
How often have you
thought..
“If only I had the resources to make a
difference in the health of our community?”
As we all know, healthcare needs affect each and
every one of us, somehow, somewhere, sometime. Particularly when we least expect it.
WAYS TO GIVE - EVERY GIFT
MAKES A DIFFERENCE
There are many ways you can help and make a
difference today. Whether a cash donation or a
planned gift, your donation strengthens the
ability of St. Luke's Magic Valley Health
Foundation to provide high quality health care
today and tomorrow. You may make an unrestricted
gift to benefit the most urgent area of need or
designate the service or program you would like
to help such as the Joyce E. and Gordon O.
Glasmann Endowment Fund, which supports prostate
cancer education programs and equipment
purchases. Your contribution is tax deductible
for the amount allowed by law. Other
funds and programs include:
Charitable gifts are an important
and fulfilling way to take action that can help
shape the world around you. With your help, we
are able to make a difference in the healthcare
needs of residents of the Magic Valley and
northern Nevada. The array of gift-giving
options and the ways you can incorporate them
into your financial plan are as varied as the
circumstances they serve. Some of the ways are
listed below. The SLMV Health Foundation is
always available to provide further information
and to suggest a gift that fits with your
lifestyle and philanthropic goals.
Planned Gifts -
Many options are possible to give you tax and
income benefits.
Cash Gifts
- Monetary gifts can be made with cash or
checks.
Matching Gifts -
Your donation can go twice as far! Many
employers offer programs that will match the
funds an employee donates to a non-profit such
as the SLMV Health Foundation.
Gifts of Stocks/Bonds
-
A donation of stocks or mutual funds can save
you money on your federal and state taxes. Talk
to your financial advisor for details or call
the Foundation office at 208.737.2480 and talk
to the Foundation Director, Larry W. Baxter,
CFRE. He
will be happy to help you any way he can.
Annual Hospital
Campaign - You can give through the
SLMVRMC work place campaign to United Way or
the Foundation's various funds.
Real Property Gifts -
A gift of real property can significantly reduce
taxes.
Bequests
-
The donor names the Foundation in his/her will.
This can be a fixed amount, a percent of the
final estate, the residual after family gifts
are made or by naming specific assets.
Estate gifts will help assure that quality
community healthcare will continue to be
available in the future. Your gift of cash,
securities, property or life insurance will
enhance the healthcare services available to you
and your family, while providing a possible
reduction in your income and estate taxes.
Deferred Gifts -
After a donor has provided for their
family obligations, a planned gift to the
Foundation is a simple way to provide a lasting
legacy.
The term “deferred” or “planned” gift describes
the planning method of deciding upon a gift now
that will benefit the Foundation’s mission at a
later date. This often results in a much larger
gift than if the donor provided an out-of-pocket
donation today. Over time the deferred gift
usually becomes more substantial in size than
the initial cash amount, producing a more
significant impact on the health of the
community.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
-
The donor uses assets to establish a trust, with
the SLMV Health Foundation named as the final
beneficiary. This method allows the donor to
receive both the cash flow from the trust and a
charitable deduction.
Charitable Gift Annuities
-
The Foundation agrees to provide a fixed amount
of income back to the donor each year for their
lifetime and is named the ultimate beneficiary
of the annuity.
Other Giving Options
-The Foundation provides
many different opportunities for the donor to
give to the community's future healthcare needs,
while also meeting personal and financial
goals.
The SLMV Health Foundation staff is available to
discuss any estate or gift planning concerns.
All potential donors should work with their
financial advisors and the Foundation before any
gift is finalized; to insure that the most
appropriate asset and the most beneficial method
is used to meet the donor’s needs.
For details, send email to Larry Baxter,
Executive Director of the SLMV Health Foundation
or call 208.737.2480. He will be happy to
answer your questions and help you any way he
can.
