 Gifts of Real Estate  
  There are several ways by which you can donate real estate.  For example, if you would like to retain the use of your house for your life, you can simply place the property in a trust or a will.  That way you will continue to receive the financial benefits, while supporting Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation.  You may also donate it outright.

Tax advantage: For donating appreciated property, you may enjoy a tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the property, elimination of all or part of the capital gains tax on the property's appreciation and removal of certain costs associated with the transfer of real property.  You may also reduce your taxable estate, which could help avoid gift or estate taxes.

 Gifts of Stock  

 Keep pace with the market by reevaluating your stocks from time to time.  If your investments suffered from the market's decline these last few years, consider selling a portion of your stock, realizing the loss and taking the deduction for tax purposes.  If you received any cash proceeds from any stocks you sold, take an additional deduction by donating the money to Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation.

Tax advantage: You may be able to avoid all capital gains taxes placed on publicly traded stocks that you've held for more than a year simply by donating them to a charitable organization such as Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation.  Plus, you may be able to take the full fair market value of the stock gift as a charitable deduction on your income taxes.  The maximum deduction you may take of capital gain property within a given tax year is 30% of your adjusted gross income.  If you are unable to take the entire deduction in one year, you may carry the excess deduction forward for five additional years.

 Gifts of Cash  
  You can make an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the gift in most cases.  This helps lower the net cost of the gift.  State and local income taxes may affect the combined marginal rate.

 Transfer of Life Insurance  

  If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need, consider transferring it to the Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation.  Another affordable way to donate is to open a new account and name Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary.

*Be sure to consult your tax advisor about deductibility in your particular situation.  Pleasant Valley Hospital does not offer tax advice.

Transfer of Retirement Account  

  By listing Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation as your beneficiary, you can designate where your hard-earned money goes. If you have a family member you would rather have as the primary beneficiary, consider a deferred giving arrangement that pays an income for life to a family member, after which the remaining assets pass to the Pleasant Valley Hospital Foundation.

Tax advantage: You can reduce, or possibly avoid, income taxes as well as estate taxes if you use a planned charitable gift. In some circumstances, this can be a savings of close to 75% of the value of your account in income and estate taxes.
