Legacy Gifts

Planning a Gift.

This section offers ideas that will enable you to be a partner in providing exceptional compassionate end-of-life care to our community. Your gift will ensure the availability of Hospice services now ... and in the future!. Your gift will support our mission to provide exceptional support for patients and their families in the comfort of their own homes.

There are as many different ways to support Hospice as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. There are a lot of factors to consider. If you are not familiar with the concepts and strategies of charitable gift planning, you might want to take a moment to consider our quick guide to legacy gifts (Legacy Giving Options) and Factors in Planning.

Take a moment to see how they - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support the needs of others and causes that are important to them - the way Hospice is important to you. In turn, they have enriched their own hearts as well. Just click on the links below.
