Legacy Giving
A Legacy gift is a great way to support Niagara Hospice. By making a legacy gift to Niagara Hospice, you are assuring that your generosity and support will be long remembered by others in the community and, more importantly, by the patients and families we serve.
Legacy gifts can be made in any dollar amount or nearly any type of property. These types of gifts usually require the assistance of a development professional and a knowledgeable adviser to facilitate making the gift due to their more complex nature.
Legacy Giving includes:
-
Bequests of money, real property or personal property through a will or living trust
-
Gifts that provide lifetime income, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts
-
Retirement plans or life insurance policies that name Niagara Hospice as one of your beneficiaries
Sample Bequest Language:
A sample of the language you could use in a bequest by will or revocable trust: "I give, devise, and bequeath to Niagara Hospice, tax identification number 22-2524016, 4675 Sunset Dr., Lockport, NY 14094 (nature of gift, whether percentage amount, specific item, or remainder of estate) for its unrestricted use and purpose."
In addition to the possible tax benefits and satisfaction you receive in helping sustain a wonderful cause, individuals who intend to make a Legacy Gift have the option of becoming members of the Patricia L. Evans Legacy Society.
