Making a gift from your IRA is a tax-efficient way to support Packard Health while meeting your financial goals.

• Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a QCD, a direct gift from your IRA to Packard Health. Once you reach age 73, a QCD can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Unlike regular withdrawals, QCDs are excluded from taxable income.
• Beneficiary Designation You can also name Packard Health as a beneficiary of your IRA. Because retirement assets are often taxed when inherited by individuals, designating a charitable beneficiary can be a wise and impactful choice.

Packard Health can provide transfer details and work with you or your advisor to ensure a smooth process.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) offer a flexible and convenient way to support Packard Health. If you have a DAF, you can:

• Recommend a grant to Packard Health at any time to make an immediate impact, or
• Name Packard Health as a beneficiary of your fund to create a lasting legacy

You can designate Packard as the sole beneficiary or leave a percentage to us while naming family members as successor advisors. Contact your fund administrator for beneficiary forms or instructions.

Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor someone special or remember a loved one. Whether celebrating a milestone or memorializing someone who has passed, your gift creates a lasting impact in their name. When making your tribute gift, please include the name and mailing address of the person to be notified. We will send a thoughtful acknowledgement without disclosing the gift amount.

Gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks or mutual funds, are a tax-efficient way to support Packard Health. When you donate appreciated securities held for more than one year:

• You avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value
• You may claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value
• Packard Health receives immediate support for its mission

To make a gift, simply instruct your broker to transfer shares directly to Packard Health’s brokerage account. Once the transfer is complete, we will send a confirmation letter and gift acknowledgment for tax purposes.

To receive transfer instructions or notify us of an incoming stock gift, please email us to ensure your gift is received promptly and acknowledged accurately.

Many people assume legacy giving is only for the wealthy, but anyone can make a meaningful impact through a planned gift. A bequest in your will, designating a percentage of your estate, or naming Packard Health as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy are all simple, accessible ways to leave a legacy regardless of your estate size.

These gifts reflect your values, not your wealth. They cost nothing now, are flexible, and help ensure that Packard Health continues delivering, compassionate, high-quality, care for generations to come.

Establishing or contributing to an endowment is one of the most powerful ways to support Packard Health in perpetuity. Endowments are permanent funds where the principal is invested, and only annual earnings are used, providing a stable, reliable source of support year after year.

If you wish to create an endowment, Packard Health will partner with you to create an endowment that benefits Packard’s vital mission. You can create an endowed fund during your lifetime, over a period of years or all at once. Many donors establish their endowments with modest gifts to start and add to the endowment corpus through their wills, living trusts, or other gift designations. 

If you are considering an endowment gift, we encourage you to talk with our Development Team. We will work with you on an endowment agreement.
