Smart gift planning allows you to make a difference now and for years to come

You want to make a difference, to make your community a better, healthier place for your family and your neighbors. Whether you want to see your charitable giving at work today or to know your giving will help others after your lifetime, some thoughtful planning now lets you provide for your family and support Bon Secours and Mercy Health hospitals in your community for years to come.

We’re here to help you explore ways your generosity can have maximum impact to best accomplish your charitable giving goals, now and after your lifetime through your estate plan.

By including Bon Secours or Mercy Health in your plans, your legacy makes life-saving, life-changing health care available for all people in your community.

Tax efficient ways to give

When you're planning to support favorite charities like your local Bon Secours Foundation or Mercy Health Foundation, you may want to consider giving non-cash assets instead of writing a check. Donating appreciated investments like stocks, mutual funds or real estate can help you avoid income and capital gains taxes. You will have the same impact on quality health care and life-improving services for people in your community AND save money by minimizing your tax liability.
