Assets You Can Give

Cash
When you give cash to The Children's Hospital Foundation, you provide immediate financial benefit to Children's while qualifying for a significant income tax charitable deduction.

Appreciated Securities
By making a gift of appreciated securities, you avoid the capital gains tax that you would incur if you simply sold those assets AND you may claim a charitable deduction for the gift!

Real Estate
You may transfer residential, commercial or undeveloped real estate to Children's. This is an especially attract option if you own real estate that has greatly appreciated in value since you acquired it.

Retirement Assets - Estate
Naming Children's as a beneficiary of your retirement plan makes sense for two great reasons. If you pass assets on to your heirs, they will have to pay income tax on the distributions from such accounts; as a 501(c)(3) organization, Children's would not be subject to income taxation on those distributions. In addition, the gift will qualify for a charitable deduction. You can make this gift simply by filing a new beneficiary designation form with your plan administrator.

Life Insurance
You may wish to name Children's as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, [particularly if you feel that your spouse or heirs are sufficiently provided for by other assets in your estate]. As with gifts of retirement assets, this is among the easiest gifts to make: you need only file a change of beneficiary form with your insurance carrier.

Business Interests
If you own a closely-held business interest (such as a family limited partnership), you may wish to donate all or part of your interest to Children's. Please contact us if you think this might be the right gift for you and we will help you work out the details!
