Creating a Lasting Legacy
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 can continue to benefit from your assets now, knowing that your legacy gift will strengthen the health of our community for generations to come. 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 Doylestown Health Foundation at 215.345.2009.

GIFTS FROM YOUR WILL
The Gift Anyone Can Make
Charitable bequests—both easy and within reach—are the most popular way to make a planned gift.
BENEFICIARY GIFTS
Gifts from Qualified Retirement Plans
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.
LIFE INCOME GIFTS
Gifts That Pay You Income
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.
Current Gift Options
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES
Highly Appreciated Assets
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.
CHARITABLE IRA ROLLOVER
Planning for Good
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.
GIFTS OF PROPERTY
Real Estate and Other Valuables
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.
The Cornerstone Society
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.
