Charitable gifts can take many forms. All gifts, of any size, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and are greatly appreciated.

Cash - Gifts of cash, by check or credit card, are available for immediate use by the agency and are normally fully deductible, to the extent allowed by law, for donors who itemize deductions.

Appreciated Securities - Gifts of long-term appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares are the most tax-wise way to make a contribution.  Donors receive a charitable tax deduction at the fair market value of the securities on the date of the gift, without having to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation. 

Other Assets - Gifts of real estate, life insurance  and retirement assets such as IRA’s may be used to make a charitable gift now or through your estate plans. 

Personal Property - Gifts of medical equipment to our Community Loan Closet are welcome, as well as other personal property such as art work, cars, etc.  Cars may be donated for the benefit of Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care through Cars 4 Causes at 1(800)766-2273.

Pledges - Pledges provide prospective donors with additional flexibility in planning a gift and often enable a larger donation. Donors make a pledge commitment over a mutually agreed upon period of time.
