Ways to Give

Making a Difference Through Gifts that Give In Return

There are many ways you can give to the Foundation. Each option can provide a varying degree of financial benefit to you and your family while supporting the work of the Foundation. These benefits range from offering simple tax advantages to providing a lifetime payment stream to the donor.

• Tax-deductible gifts of cash - to our annual appeals, special events or for capital needs may also be used to honor or memorialize loved ones.

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift - you can give us appreciated securities instead and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.

• You may be holding assets that would benefit the Foundation more than they do you - such as a life insurance policy, a second home or undeveloped land, or a stamp collection or artwork.

• Bequests a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime - through a bequest you can make the Foundation a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted.

• Make the Foundation a partner in your giving - If you live in a CCRC you can deed us your entrance fee, continue to live in your home and receive a charitable tax deduction.

• Increase your estate for your children -- while delivering years of income to the Foundation with a charitable lead trust or a charitable remainder trust.

• Receive stable lifetime payments - that are taxed attractively and provide additional income through a PHS Senior Living Foundation charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
