MATCHING
GIFTS
Many employers have matching-gift programs through which your
generosity can be multiplied. Alegent Health is eligible for many matching-gift
programs of corporations, foundations and other organizations.
THROUGH YOUR
WILL
Your will is the cornerstone of your estate planning efforts
- your most important legal document. Good planning helps you preserve assets
so they will be used according to your wishes, provide security for your loved
ones and achieve your charitable objectives. Bequests take various
forms:
- A specific bequest designates that Alegent Health
receive a specific piece of property. Example: "I bequeath to The Alegent
Health Foundation, Omaha, Nebraska, all of my shares in 'XYZ Mutual
Fund' to be used for its exempt
purposes."
- A general bequest
designates that Alegent Health receive a specified dollar amount. Example: "I
bequeath to The Alegent Health Foundation, Omaha, Nebraska, the sum of
$100,000 to be used for its exempt purposes."
- A residual bequest
designates all or a portion of whatever remains after all debts, taxes,
expenses and other bequests have been paid. Example: "I bequeath to The
Alegent Health Foundation, Omaha, Nebraska, fifty percent (50%) of the rest,
residue and remainder of my estate to be used for its exempt
purposes."
- A
contingent bequest takes effect only if the primary intention cannot
be met. This ensures that property will pass to Alegent Health rather than
unintended beneficiaries - including the government. Example: "If (NAME OF
PRIMARY BENEFICIARY) does not survive me, then I bequeath to The Alegent
Health Foundation, Omaha, Nebraska, all the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate to be used for its exempt purposes."
GIFTS THAT
PROVIDE INCOME
Would you like to support Alegent Health, but
worry about having enough income for yourself and your loved ones? Life-income
gifts provide mutual benefits to both the giver and receiver. They allow you to
enjoy the benefits of an increased return on your investment income while
also providing significant resources for the Alegent Health hospital or program
of your choice. Life-income gifts include Charitable Gift Annuity,
Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity or Charitable Remainder Trust. Benefits of
life-income gifts include the following:
• A stream of income for
life, possibly to more than one beneficiary
• A charitable income-tax
deduction in the year you make the gift
• A charitable estate-tax
deduction for a portion of the gift
• A gift that will benefit Alegent
Health now and in the future
GIFTS OF STOCK OR OTHER PROPERTY
Many donors find it convenient and
tax-wise to give appreciated securities. Gifts of appreciated securities offer
tax advantages including forgiveness of the tax on capital gain and an income
tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities. You also
can make gifts of property such as real estate, life insurance, retirement
accounts, works of art, jewelry and valued
collections.
