Planned Giving
- Gifts From a Will or Trust
-
Designating AdventHealth as a beneficiary in your will or trust is a simple way to support our cause and will not affect your cash flow during your lifetime. It’s easy to adjust this type of gift if your goals change.
- Beneficiary Designations
-
Naming AdventHealth as the beneficiary of a retirement plan, financial account, or annuity is another easy way to help further our mission to extend the healing ministry of Christ. You can continue to benefit from these assets during your lifetime. A beneficiary designation may also be changed at any time.
- IRA Charitable Rollover
-
IRAs are a popular way to give. Congress made permanent the law that allows people age 70½ or older who own an IRA to make cash gifts directly from their IRA to charity. An IRA rollover gift is not included in your taxable income, therefore you are not permitted to take a charitable income tax deduction for your git. However, your gift will qualify for your required minimum distribution.
- Donor Advised Fund
-
If you are looking for an end-of-year deduction but want more time to make thoughtful giving decisions, consider a donor advised fund (DAF). Our organization can use your tax-deductible gift to establish a DAF in your name. You can make grants from your DAF now and in the future to support our work and other causes you care about.
- Life Insurance
-
If you have an old, unneeded life insurance policy, you can donate it to AdventHealth and take an immediate tax deduction. You can also name us as a beneficiary of your policy.
- Appreciated Securities
-
A gift of stocks or bonds may provide you with an even greater tax benefit. If you have owned securities for more than one year and the value has increased, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of your gift to us.
Employee Giving
Gratitude is key to our Foundation’s success, and it starts within the walls of our hospitals. Employee giving is a voluntary program that allows our team members to further support patients, visitors, and fellow employees.
Employee Giving is led by volunteer committees made up of AdventHealth team members at each of our West Florida hospitals and 100% of employee gifts support their area of designation.
For questions regarding our Employee Giving Program, please visit the Foundation Connect page or email our team at [email protected].
The Donor Bill of Rights
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
I. To be informed of the organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
The Donor Bill of Rights was created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Giving Institute: Leading Consultants to Non-Profits. It has been endorsed by numerous organizations.
