Planned Giving

Including South County Health in your will or trust is one of the simplest ways to support continued excellence in healthcare after your lifetime. A bequest can be structured to suit your family needs, such as providing income for a loved one, before it is distributed to South County Health.

The value of your charitable bequest is deductible for estate tax purposes and may offer significant tax savings, depending on the size of your estate (Federal Tax # 05-0445136).

South County Health is happy to work with donors and their legal advisors on the phrasing of a specific bequest or creating a named fund through a bequest. If you would like additional information regarding bequests, please contact Christine Foisy, Interim Vice President of Development, at 401-788-1608 or cfoisy@southcountyhealth.org.

A gift annuity is an agreement between an individual and South County Health. The donor transfers assets, cash, appreciated securities or other property, and receives a guaranteed fixed income for life, or the life of a loved one. The rate of return is determined by your age(s) at the time the gift is made. Charitable gift annuities offer the security of an income, as well as tax benefits since part of the transfer is treated as a gift.

Benefits include:

• Satisfaction in knowing that your gift will make a difference at South County Health
• Guaranteed, fixed payments for life
• Attractive rates of return
• A substantial income tax deduction
• A portion of each payment is tax-free for a period of time

If you would like additional information regarding Charitable Gift Annuities, please contact Christine Foisy, Interim Vice President of Development, at 401-788-1608 or cfoisy@southcountyhealth.org.

Many individuals have life policies that can be used to benefit charities when the insured dies or in some cases, during the insured’s lifetime. Life insurance can be used to benefit charities in two primary ways:

Name South County Health as a primary beneficiary or as a contingent beneficiary. Changing your beneficiaries is easy. Simply contact your insurance carrier and request a beneficiary form.

Benefits:

• Easy to give – involves little effort or paperwork
• Continued ownership
• Revocable – may change beneficiaries during lifetime
• No income tax benefits, but will circumvent estate tax

Policy owner can irrevocably assign the ownership and beneficiary designation to the South County Health, guaranteeing that the death benefit will pass to the charity. If the policy has cash value, the Hospital would have the option of either holding until the maturity date or surrendering and receiving the policy’s present cash value.

Benefits:

• Donor may be entitled to an immediate charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value or the adjusted cost basis the donor has in the policy
• Proceeds will pass free of estate taxation to the Hospital when the insured

South County Health is proud to honor donors who include us in their estate plans by inducting them into The Flagship Society. The Society was established in 1994. We are grateful to these Flagship Members that have made a lasting impact through a planned gift. South County Health remains the Most Trusted Health Partner because people like these ensured we would continue to grow and respond to the needs of this community with their generous legacy gift.

We want to recognize every person who has designated South County Health as a beneficiary in their estate plans, so we can welcome you as a Flagship Society Member.
