You may extend your gift over a three- to five-year period. Gifts are deductible in the year a payment is made. Please ask us about joining the Annunciation Maternity Home “2000 Club”

Matching Gifts

You should check with your employer to take advantage of matching programs offered by many employers. A matching gift leverages a donor’s gift to a higher level.

Marketable Securities

A gift of marketable securities, which are otherwise subject to long-term capital gains, is often advantageous. Avoid payment of capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the stock. Receive deduction for full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift, subject to limitations.

Stamp Collections, Art Collections, Jewelry

You receive a deduction for your basis in the gift. Annunciation Maternity Home then converts the property to cash to aid in the support of our programs.

Life Income Trusts

Place assets in Trust and retain right to Trust income. At the end of the Trust, remainder goes to Annunciation Maternity Home. Tax deduction will depend upon value passing to Annunciation Maternity Home. The advantages of life income trusts, is that there is flexibility in type of property that can be donated and it can provide a fixed amount of income (Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust) or a variable level of income (Charitable Remainder Unitrust).

Charitable Lead Trusts

Assets are placed in Trust and Annunciation Maternity Home receives income for a period of time and then the assets return to donor or other beneficiary at end of designated period. With a charitable lead trust, a donor can fulfill a gift pledge while reducing estate and gift taxes which might otherwise be due on assets passing to heirs.

Life Insurance

If you have life insurance that your heirs don't need, make Annunciation Maternity Home the beneficiary of the policy. The policy proceeds are then deductible for your estate tax purposes. You may also receive a current income tax deduction by making Annunciation Maternity Home the owner of a policy.

A bequest can often be arranged simply with the addition of a codicil amending an existing will.
