Ways to Donate
East Hill provides several ways to make thoughtful gifts. Donors will be recognized in a permanent artistic fixture within the building and through print and digital media acknowledgement, unless they prefer to remain anonymous. Limited naming opportunities will be available based on contribution levels.
Immediate Impact
Make an immediate impact with a one-time or recurring gift. You can donate by cash, check, or credit/debit card. Your contribution directly supports East Hill’s mission to deliver high-quality, equitable health care services that improve the physical and emotional well-being of our entire community.
Planned Giving
Leaving a legacy through planned giving allows you to make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our community, while also providing financial benefits for you and your loved ones. Below are several ways you can include East Hill Medical Center in your long-term plans:
-
Bequest in your will: By naming East Hill Medical Center in your will, you can leave a meaningful legacy that supports future generations. Your bequest may reduce the taxable portion of your estate, helping you provide for both your loved ones and your community’s health.
-
Retirement Plan Gift: You can designate East Hill Medical Center as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets (such as an IRA or 401(k)). Because these assets may be subject to significant taxes when passed to heirs, gifting them to a nonprofit can help you reduce that tax burden, making your contribution more cost-effective and impactful.
-
Life Insurance Policy: Consider naming East Hill Medical Center as both the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy. This option may offer an immediate income tax deduction and could reduce potential estate taxes, all while turning a modest investment into a significant future gift for community health.
-
Living Trust: By including East Hill Medical Center as a beneficiary in your living trust, you maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while ensuring they support our mission in the future. This approach may also provide estate tax advantages and simplify the distribution of your assets.
Donor Advised Fund
East Hill Medical Center accepts contributions of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) or Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) for sponsorships, gifts pledged at events, and unrestricted gifts. Per IRS guidelines, use of DAFs or RMDs cannot result in any material benefit to the donor, and so cannot be used to purchase any seats/tickets for events.
