There are many ways to make a gift to Home & Hospice Care of
Rhode Island.

Outright Gifts: The simplest
way to give cash, securities, personal property, real estate,
life insurance or other assets.
Bequests: For many donors,
a gift made through a will is the most realistic way to provide
a substantial contribution. Bequests allow you to specify how
your assets are distributed and to designate a gift in a manner
that is most meaningful to you.
Life Insurance: If you
own life insurance policies you no longer need, you may find
an easy way to give a substantial gift is to donate the policy
for its present cash value. To maximize your gift, you may continue
to pay the premiums on the policy, naming Home & Hospice
Care of Rhode Island Foundation as owner and beneficiary and
receiving an additional tax deduction for the premiums.
Organize an event: Every year
many members of the community support Home & Hospice Care of
Rhode Island by organizing golf tournaments and tennis matches
to benefit HHCRI. These fundraisers provide funds for
patient care expenses not covered by insurance reimbursement.
Naming Opportunities: There
are opportunities starting at $5,000 for donors to name an area
or program as a tribute to a loved one or other honoree.
Real Estate: Almost any
type of real estate can be given. Gifts can be made outright
during your lifetime, through a bequest, or you can donate property
now, while retaining the right of use for the rest of your life.
Gifts With A Return: There
are many ways to make a gift to the Hospice Care of Rhode Island
Foundation while receiving income from your gift for life:
The Charitable Gift Annuity:
In exchange for transferring assets of cash or appreciated property,
we pay you a guaranteed, fixed sum of money each year for the
rest of your life. As a source of additional income at retirement,
you may want to consider a Deferred Charitable Annuity.
Charitable Remainder Trust:
Assets are transferred to a trust, and you, or the beneficiary
you name, receive an annual income for life. Trusts can be established
for life or a specified number of years. At the termination
of the trust, the assets revert to the donor or his or her designated
beneficiary.
Pooled Income Funds: Similar
to a mutual fund, your gift is pooled with other donations in
one fund to maximize the investment potential. You or your designated
beneficiary receives income for life from the fund based on
its performance.
