Planned Giving

Many of our loyal supporters have been touched by our care through a loved one and want to continue their commitment to NVHADS beyond their lifetime. By including NVHADS in your estate plans, you will help to ensure that future patients and their families have access to quality end-of-life care and services for generations to come. A well-planned charitable gift can also provide direct donor benefits and enhance your ability to meet your financial and estate goals for your family.

Another aspect to "planned giving" is to consider what type of asset would be best for you to use in supporting NVHADS. There are several options other than cash, such as appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual funds shares, real estate, personal property, and closely held business interests. It may be that using a different asset saves you taxes, enables a larger gift than otherwise possible or puts an idle asset to good use, in addition to preserving your cash for other needs. Gifts of property can be made as current gifts where NVHADS has immediate use of the gift, or they can be part of a deferred gift or a life-income gift.
