Many ways to give
The Riverview Memorial Foundation offers a wide variety of giving options at different giving levels.
Current Gifts
Cash — Cash gifts are most often in the form of a personal check made payable to the Riverview memorial Foundation.
Memorials/Honorary Gifts — Special dedication gifts to the Foundation are recognized on a yearly basis and are for those who wish to make a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one or a dear friend.
Flame of Life — This is an extra special way to give to the Foundation and make someone special permanently recognized for years to come. Individuals can purchase panels, pavers or bricks to be engraved on the grounds of the hospital near the Foundation’s “Flame of Life”. Donations made to the Flame of Life are directed to the Foundation’s Endowment fund.
Securities — Stocks and bonds, if held for 18 months or longer, may be transferred to the Foundation and usually avoids the capital gains tax, which would otherwise be incurred if they were sold.
Gifts of Property — Certain real estate and personal property may be readily transferred to the Hospital. The current income tax deduction is based upon the fair market value.
Corporate Matching Gifts — Many corporations agree to match personal donations with an equal or greater corporate contribution in order to encourage their employees to make charitable gifts. The appropriate forms are available from your corporation’s personnel department.
Sponsorships — The Foundation holds annual events to assist Riverview in promoting the services and programs offered at the Hospital. Many corporations support the Foundation by sponsoring these events.
Deferred Gifts
Bequests by Will or Codicil — A charitable gift to the Hospital through your will or a legal revision to it will reduce your estate taxes. The bequest wording may specify a dollar amount for the gift or a percentage of your estate.
Life Income Gifts — Cash or certain assets can be transferred to a trust or gift annuity in return for a lifetime income. After the lifetime of the donor, the trust or annuity proceeds are payable to the Foundation.
Life Insurance — You may transfer a policy you no longer need for your family, naming the Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of the policy.
