Ways to Make a Gift
Donors may select from a wide variety of methods of tax-deductible contributions to Keuka Health Care Foundation among them are:

Cash
Cash is the easiest and most direct way to give. As always your personal check is always accepted. Taxpayers who itemize deductions are able to secure a Charitable Tax deduction. Checks should be made to "Keuka Health Care Foundation" and mailed to:

Keuka Health Care Foundation Office
7571 State Route 54
Bath, NY

Stocks
Gifts of stocks and other securities are welcome. Gifts of appreciated securities may completely avoid capital gains taxes. Donors receive credit based on the fair market value of the securities donated.

Making a gift of stock is easy to make. For small annual gifts or gifts to satisfy a large pledge, stock is often the asset that makes the most sense for donors.

Corporate Matching Programs
Many companies match employees' gifts to educational institutions. Contact your employer for details and restrictions.

Goods and Property
Gifts of tangible goods and property, including real estate, may be accepted depending on the nature and utility of the items. Donor must provide fair market value based on IRS valuation rules and procedures.

Pledges
Contribution plans over a period of years are welcome and encouraged, especially for the creation of named endowed funds.

Planned Giving
Planned Giving programs enable many donors to make substantial gifts that not only benefit the Hospital but bring financial benefits to the donor as well.

Planned gifts can generate lifelong income; convert low-yielding assets into a higher income stream at reduced capital gains cost; obtain significant income tax deductions; and reduce or eliminate estate taxes. While our office can help donors tailor your giving requests, we recommend that all donors consult their own tax and legal advisors.

Gifts through the estate plans of individuals and families are accepted. Useful vehicles for estate commitments include wills, trusts, life insurance policies, retirement funds, and others. Certain plans also provide attractive tax benefits and life-income provisions for the donor, including charitable remainder trusts, and charitable gift annuities.

Endowment
Endowed funds are essentially savings accounts from which only earnings may be spent for the specified purpose. The principal of the gift is never spent. Donors may create a new endowment with a gift of $10,000 or more and may name the fund.

Special Events
Keuka Health Care Foundation holds several fundraising events throughout the year. Radio Auction, Golf Tournament, 10K race and Health Fair, and our annual Gala are among our most popular.
