 By planning your gift to the JTM Hospital Foundation, you can leave a legacy while supporting improvements to The Hospital and enjoying significant tax benefits.
When you make a contribution to the Foundation, you have a real impact on health care in our region. Your foresight will contribute to better patient care, modern facilities and equipment.
If you are considering a donation to the Foundation, we encourage you to consult your own financial and legal advisors. They will ensure your gift is tailored to your personal circumstances and that you maximize any tax advantages.
Bequests
A bequest is a donation in your will that is distributed by your estate after your death.
Upon your death, the Foundation will issue a donation receipt for the bequest.
Common types of bequests, and the wording to include in your will:
Specific Bequest
The JTM Hospital Foundation receives a specific (or fixed) amount of money.
"I give the sum of $________ (dollars) to the JTM Hospital Foundation in the City of Port Jefferson, NY."
Residual Bequest
A gift of all or a percentage of whatever remains (the "residue") after all taxes, liabilities, administrative expenses and specific bequests have been paid. The greatest advantage of this bequest is that, as your estate increases or decreases in value over time, your donation remains proportionate.
"I give the rest, residue and remainder of my estate [or ___ % of the residue] to the JTM Hospital Foundation in Port Jefferson, NY."
Contingent Bequest
Takes effect only if the primary intention cannot be met. For example, you direct the JTM Foundation to receive a portion of your estate if other beneficiaries do not survive you.
"If [name of beneficiary] does not survive me, or shall die within thirty days from the date after my death, I give to the JTM Hospital Foundation, Port Jefferson, NY, ___ % of the residue of my estate [or $____ ]." For additional wording and more information about bequests, please contact Marlene Israel, Vice President, Public Affairs at 631-476-2723, or e-mail.
