Since the founding of Doylestown Hospital in 1923 by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown, planned gifts have been instrumental in our sustained success and continued growth. We are grateful to the hundreds of planned giving donors who have helped us to provide the highest quality of healthcare throughout our history, as well as to the current members of our Cornerstone Society for their future contributions.
By adding Doylestown Health to your estate plan through a variety of flexible, tax-advantaged options, you will be able to continue to benefit from your assets now, knowing that your legacy gift will strengthen the health of our community for generations to come. These gifts can take a variety of forms, including some of the more popular and effective gift planning vehicles listed below. Your gift to Doylestown Health can support the area of greatest need, or be designated for a specific service line or program that is important to you. Our office is staffed with experienced gift planners who can help you and your financial advisers achieve your charitable goals.
To learn more about planned giving opportunities, or to notify us that you have already included Doylestown Health in your estate plans, please contact Garrett Owen, Director of Development, at 215.345.2802 or gowen@dh.org. Thank you!
Charitable bequests—both easy and within reach—are the most popular way to make a planned gift.
As a sensible charitable alternative, you may choose to name Doylestown Health as the beneficiary of your retirement plan. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we pay no income tax on the distribution, and your heirs will receive their share of your estate without the burden of extra taxes.
By supporting Doylestown Health through life-income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, you enjoy the immediate benefit of income through returned interest while providing a secure and lasting investment in the future of Doylestown Health.
The IRS gives two tax benefits to donors who contribute long-term appreciated property, such as securities and real estate: a charitable deduction and the reduction or avoidance of capital gains tax on the transfer to Doylestown Health.
Donors age 70 1/2 or older can transfer up to $100,000 from their IRA directly to Doylestown Health Foundation without having to recognize the transfer as income. These distributions are tax-free and count toward your minimum distribution.
Like stock, the fair market value of gifts of appreciated assets such as real estate, artwork, and other well curated collections, can be deducted from your income tax today and reduce your estate taxes in the future.
Doylestown Health Foundation’s Cornerstone Society honors donors who have generously provided a legacy of care by naming Doylestown Health in their estate plans. Whether through a bequest, trust, life-income gift, donation of real estate, or other form of planned giving, these special donors are helping to provide exceptional healthcare for our community for generations to come.
