Planned Giving

A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present in order to be allocated at a future date. For those donors who establish a planned gift as a part of their estate plan and inform us of their intentions will become members of our legacy societies. Also, for any bequests that are received, those donors will receive posthumous membership.

There are a variety of ways that you can support our hospitals through estate planning, including:

Making a bequest naming the hospital as a beneficiary in your will or trust
Naming the hospital as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy
Through your minimum required IRA distributions
Naming the hospital as a residual beneficiary of your estate
Through the establishment of a charitable gift annuity
Donating shares of your publicly held stocks or securities
Additional flexible planned giving strategies

We are available to discuss which planned giving option is best for you. For more information, please contact Amy Buzzell, (860) 714-9917, or abuzzell@trinityhealthofne.org.
