Learn which assets are most commonly used to fund a gift.
What You Can Give
Stocks & Bonds
Giving appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation's future.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Here’s how it works.
Your support impacts our patients, families and care team members directly through the area you choose.
