Charitable Bequest

You can help protect the people you love and create a lasting partnership with Providence Speech and Hearing Center at the same time. Your Will makes it possible.

Your charitable bequest:

Gifts of Stock and Real Estate

Giving stock, real estate or other appreciated assets can be a way of supporting the patients of Providence Speech and Hearing Center while still profitable for you. Donors of long-term appreciated securities and real estate avoid payment of capital gains and are eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction equal to the fair market value.

Giving Securities

The simplest way to make a gift of securities is to instruct your broker to transfer specified shares from your account to Providence Speech and Hearing Center account. It is important that your broker not sell the stock while it is still in your account. This would cause a capital gains tax liability. To avoid the capital gains tax, be sure to give the securities directly to Providence Speech and Hearing Center.

Giving Real Estate

As with gifts of securities, if you give the property directly to Providence Speech and Hearing Center, you may avoid payment on the capital gain and be eligible for a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the property.

Gifts of real estate can be especially helpful for people planning to move into a smaller home at retirement, or for those with vacation homes they are no longer using. Real estate can be expensive to maintain and difficult to sell – and if it has appreciated in value, its sale can lead to significant capital gains taxes.

Gift of Life Insurance

Life insurance offers another means of making a gift to Providence Speech and Hearing Center. A gift of life insurance is an attractive option for those individuals who:

• Will add to the size of someone's taxable estate without providing any real benefit to survivors;
• Have an old policy that does not provide a good economic return for the owner's planning purposes.

In addition, by transferring ownership of an insurance policy to Providence Speech and Hearing Center and naming it as a beneficiary, you qualify for an immediate income tax deduction. The amount of the deduction depends on the status of the policy. In the case of a paid-up policy, the charitable deduction generally equals the replacement value of the policy. If the policy is not paid-up, the charitable contribution is approximately equal to the cash surrender value.
