People give to the Sisters of Providence for many reasons. It could be for life giving care they have received. Perhaps they have experienced a vulnerable time when a loved one was in surgery or they just came to Providence in need. The best example is when people write to express appreciation for the care and help they have received by Providence. Providence brings the highest quality healthcare to our community. Dating back a hundred years, the Sisters of Providence bring the highest quality physical and spiritual care to every patient. If you want to be part of that healing ministry you can help through your gift by continuing ongoing compassionate care, medical excellence and life-giving care to all in need regardless of the ability to pay. Foundation staff will be happy to talk with you about the giving opportunities available, including bequests, and life income gifts such as gift annuities and trusts that allow you to make a significant gift to the hospital while providing for your family’s security. There are many ways your giving can blend with financial needs and tax planning. Benefits include an immediate charitable deduction, capital gains savings, and the satisfaction of making a lasting legacy to Providence. In a will, you can provide for your family and name Providence to receive a gift to help support the programs you care about. A trust lets you or a beneficiary receive income from the trust assets and allows you to name who will ultimately receive the trust remainder. Gifts of cash provide an immediate tax deduction, securities provide a way to make a gift and enjoy the double benefit of charitable deduction and capital gains savings. All contributions help us provide quality life giving care and help us fulfill our mission. |
