Give a Gift that Gives Back

Of course, all gifts you make to Southcoast Health System provide you with the personal satisfaction of contributing to a worthy cause. But planned gifts can provide even more in return to you.

Planned gifts are a distinctive way you can support the organization by donating assets while deferring the date that Southcoast actually receives them — and it’s during that time when good things happen for you.

The best gift plans can improve your financial and tax situation — often right away. A life-income planned gift, for example, allows you — and/or another beneficiary — to receive income, during your lifetime, from the investment of the assets you donate to Southcoast.

Here are some advantages of various gift plans to consider:

• Increasing your current income tax deduction
• Avoiding long-term capital gains
• Increasing your income and effective rate of return
• Allowing good things to happen for your heirs

Your planned gifts can make a difference to your family as well.

For further information on planned-giving options, please contact the Southcoast External Affairs Office at 508-961-5353 or externalaffairs@southcoast.org.
