Donating to the Foundation is a very caring expression, which ensures your money will benefit others. Whether it goes toward valuable training, vital medical equipment or the endowment fund, it is a gift of a lifetime that will help propel healthcare further into the future.

Gift of Cash
The easiest way to give to Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation is simply writing a check. Cash gifts are accepted for any purpose consistent with the Hospital's mission and objectives.

Gifts of Stock
Giving long-term appreciated stock offers two tax advantages. First, the donor avoids paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock. In addition, the donor receives a tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the stock on the date of the gift. For income tax purposes the value of such gifts may be deducted up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with an additional five year carry forward.

Gifts of Life Insurance
Donors who own a life insurance policy that is no longer needed, may consider it as a perfect charitable gift. To receive a charitable income tax deduction, name Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation as both the owner and beneficiary of the policy. The donor must also legally assign and deliver the policy to Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation. If the policy has a cash value, the donor may receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the cash value at the time of the gift. In addition, if annual premiums are required and the donor continues to pay them, those premiums will be income tax deductible annually. Please consult with a life insurance agent on which forms to complete or call the Foundation Office.

Memorial and Tribute Gifts
A gift can be made to remember or honor a special person or occasion in your life. At the time you make your gift, we immediately notify those in whose name it is given. Bequests Many people do not like to think about preparing a will, but actually, a will is a very thoughtful gift a person can give to their loved ones. It is a way to express your wishes and to assure that the people you care about and support are taken care of after your death. A will enables donors to provide for future generations, and also makes it possible for people to make significant donations they would not have felt comfortable making during their lifetime. Robinson Memorial Foundation is one institution which can be remembered in wills.
