Planned Giving 
We encourage you to consult your financial advisor to determine the ways to match the needs of your family when making your donation to the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation.

Bequests and Giving Through Wills
By remembering Columbus Community Hospital Foundation with a bequest in your will, you can positively impact your community's healthcare in a way that endures beyond your lifetime. Your bequest will qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction. When making a bequest, we urge you to consult with your attorney and other advisors.

Charitable Lead Trust
A trust created to produce income payable to the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation, usually for a term of years. Your trust assets then pass to subsequent family generations. This is a useful technique if you own a large estate and want to transfer wealth to successive generations in a tax-advantaged way.

Irrevocable Living Trust
A Living Trust is created for the purpose of maintaining ownership of your assets during your lifetime, and distributing your assets to charitable institutions, like the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation, after death. Its creator cannot revoke an Irrevocable Living Trust.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust & Gift Annuity Agreement
Both of these arrangements will pay income to you or your beneficiary(s) during your lifetime. The principal then passes to the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation upon the death of the last beneficiary. These are excellent gifts for your smaller gifts.

Pooled Income Fund
Purchases may be made in a commingled trust that pays income to you or other beneficiary(s) during your lifetime. The principal passes to the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation upon the death of the last beneficiary.

Additional planned giving can be done through Real Estate Agreement, Endowment Funds, Real Estate, Life Insurance Endowment Program and Appreciated Securities.
