Giving Thanks

Now is traditionally the time to give thanks. For many, it is a time to share with others. Your Annual Appeal gift to Huntington Hospital is one way to share, and at the same time help your-self, your family and your community. 

A gift of cash, appreciated assets or a bequest to the hospital helps enhance patient care areas such as the Don Monti Cancer Center, the Women's Health Center, the Intensive Care Unit, the Emergency Department, and many others. We want to offer you ways to give that provide the greatest possible benefits.

Charitable Gifts to the Hospital
Reduce Your Taxes

If you itemize your deductions, charitable gifts at year-end can result in tax savings next spring. Your individual tax rate determines how much you will save, but the higher your rate, the more you save from each dollar donated.

Since certain limits apply, please check with your tax advisor to maximize your benefit.

Save More with a Gift of Assets ...
Reduce the Cost of Giving

In addition to the savings available through a charitable tax deduction, giving appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds that you've owned for at least one year affords you the opportunity to bypass capital gains taxes that would normally be due if you sold the assets.

Not incurring capital gains taxes and receiving a tax deduction as well, genuinely reduces the cost of giving.

Special rules apply to certain types of non-cash gifts, such as real estate and tangible personal property (i.e. art and jewelry). Check with your advisor for details.

Plan Now to Give Later

Remembering the hospital in your Will is easy, convenient and meaningful. 

Make a Memorial or
Special Gift

You may pay tribute to a special person through your annual appeal donation. Acknowledgements of such donations will be sent to the person(s) or family designated by you. The amount of the gift will not be made known.

Giving Reminders

Gifts of cash made by December 31st are deductible in that calendar year and reduce your taxes. Giving long-term appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds or property provide tax savings and reduce the cost of giving.  A bequest to the hospital made in your Will is easy and meaningful.  Check with your tax advisor to maximize your charitable giving.
