Giving
Thanks
Now
is traditionally the time to give thanks. For many,
it is a time to share with others. Your Annual Appeal
gift to Huntington Hospital is one way to share, and
at the same time help your-self, your family and your
community.
A gift of cash, appreciated assets or a bequest to
the hospital helps enhance patient care areas such
as the Don Monti Cancer Center, the Women's Health
Center, the Intensive Care Unit, the Emergency Department,
and many others. We want to offer you ways to give
that provide the greatest possible benefits.
If you itemize your deductions, charitable gifts at
year-end can result in tax savings next spring. Your
individual tax rate determines how much you will save,
but the higher your rate, the more you save from each
dollar donated.
Since certain limits apply, please check with your
tax advisor to maximize your benefit.
In addition to the savings available through a charitable
tax deduction, giving appreciated assets such as stocks,
bonds or mutual funds that you've owned for at least
one year affords you the opportunity to bypass capital
gains taxes that would normally be due if you sold
the assets.
Not incurring capital gains taxes and receiving a
tax deduction as well, genuinely reduces the cost of
giving.
Special rules apply to certain types of non-cash gifts,
such as real estate and tangible personal property
(i.e. art and jewelry). Check with your advisor for
details.
Remembering the hospital in your Will is easy, convenient
and meaningful.
You may pay tribute to a special person through your
annual appeal donation. Acknowledgements of such donations
will be sent to the person(s) or family designated
by you. The amount of the gift will not be made known.
Gifts of cash made by December 31st are deductible
in that calendar year and reduce your taxes. Giving
long-term appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds
or property provide tax savings and reduce the cost
of giving. A bequest to the hospital made in
your Will is easy and meaningful. Check with
your tax advisor to maximize your charitable giving.

giving.
