Gifts by Will or Trust
Ensuring support for the Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation through your will or living trust is a simple way to make a lasting gift. It is also easy to change, should you ever need the assets during your lifetime.
Naming Us as a Beneficiary
While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.
Donor-Advised Fund
Opening a donor-advised fund (DAF) with BSMH Foundation can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. You can also donate to the Foundation from your existing DAF if you have one.
The IRA Gift (QCD)
The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation.
The IRA Charitable Rollover Gift Annuity Plan
You can now make a Qualified Charitable Distribution in exchange for a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed income for life.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity provides fixed payments to you or others you name for life in exchange for your gift of cash or securities.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder unitrust can help you maintain or increase your income while making a significant gift to Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation. The charitable remainder unitrust is highly flexible.
Charitable Lead Trust
Make a substantial gift to Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.
Retained Life Estates
Donate your home, farm or a second home to BSMH Foundation and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes.
Bargain Sale
Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
