Charitable Trusts

Charitable trusts provide a fixed or variable rate of return to the donor for a specified period of time (Charitable Remainder Trusts); or offer the Foundation income for a designated period of time (Charitable Lead Trust). Both offer significant tax benefits for the donor and family.

Charitable Gift Annuities

Charitable gift annuities provide a fixed income for the life of the donor, spouse or other loved one. Both a gift and an investment, it allows the donor to make an irrevocable gift for which a tax deduction is made. The Foundation invests the gift and provides the donor and up to one other person guaranteed fixed income for life.

Gifts of Life Insurance

Policies listing Shore Medical Center as the owner and beneficiary are greatly appreciated. Life insurance policies offer substantial contributions to the Foundation and present tax advantages in estate planning.
