Planned Giving Information
Everyone Can Use

Thank you for visiting our Planning Perspectives web site.  We hope you’ll find the information we offer about charitable giving, tax savings, and protecting your assets for your heirs and your charitable interests helpful to you and your advisors as you consider your own plans.  

Each year millions of Americans make gifts in support of charitable purposes and planned gifts received by Baystate Health Foundation in support of programs at Baystate Health are critical to our being able to provide the latest medical technology, facilities, clinical training and so much more.  Time spent considering the best ways to structure your gifts can help make them even more meaningful while meeting your personal financial planning goals as well.

• You will learn how to give in ways that can actually "give back" for a time, providing extra income in retirement years or to help fund educational expenses and other needs.
• You will see how to save money on income, gift, and estate taxes and redirect those amounts for use in ways you choose.
• You will enjoy your giving more, knowing you are investing in charitable interests in ways that allow you to give the most you can at the lowest possible cost.

That's what effective gift planning is all about. We trust the information presented here will help you maximize the potential of your resources through preserving financial security for yourself and your loved ones while funding the organizations and institutions in which you believe.

We also hope that if you choose to add a charitable gift for Baystate Health Foundation in your estate plans that you will inform us of your intentions and register in our Legacy Society so that we can recognize and thank you throughout your lifetime for your vision and generosity.  For more information click on the button to the left.
