Gift Planning

Plan today. Fund the future of health and wellness on Nantucket.

There’s more than one way to support the vision of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Making a bequest or other planned gift to the hospital is simple and satisfying – and a smart way to make a tax-efficient gift.

Outright gifts (such as gifts of cash or securities) go to work immediately and are essential to the hospital today. But a gift in the future – through a bequest or life income gift – may allow you to give more and ensure the hospital can continue to be a center of health and wellness for future generations. Some gifts can provide income to you now.

There are many ways to make a significant gift to ensure quality patient care in the future. You may wish to establish an annuity that pays you income during your lifetime. Or perhaps you have a life insurance policy or IRA that could benefit the hospital? Planning now may allow you to make a much larger gift than you or your family imagined possible. You might even consider donating your house as a gift of real estate.

Different giving vehicles provide different advantages, based on your personal situation and needs. If you are interested in learning more about a legacy gift, please contact the Foundation Office at (508) 825-8250. As part of our relationship with Mass General Hospital, we have access to planned giving investment expertise and support and can work with you or your financial advisor.
