Endowed Gifts
Endowed Gifts provide for security over the long term by
expanding The
Chaplaincy’s
permanent financial base and creating a predictable source of
future income in perpetuity.
Endowment Wall
In memory of her mother, the endowment wall in the hospice house was made
possible by Deborah Barnard and her family. Your gift of $1,000 or
more leaves a lasting legacy of your loved one on the wall and benefits the
work of The Chaplaincy.
Individual Named
Endowments
An endowment received in the name of an individual establishes a
permanent fund, which provides perpetual, annual
support for The Chaplaincy. Your gift of
$25,000 or more establishes an endowment and creates a lasting legacy in your name or
the name of someone you wish to honor. Your endowment benefits a
Chaplaincy priority of your choice, or you may give The
Chaplaincy discretion to apply the payout from your gift to one
of our highest priorities. The concept is simple:
-
All endowed funds are
established by a written gift use agreement
between the donors and The Chaplaincy;
-
Your gift is invested
prudently, in accordance with Chaplaincy
policies, so that over time the endowment’s
buying power is preserved;
-
Each year, a
percentage of your endowment’s market value may
be
used to benefit the area you designate in your
gift use agreement;
-
Your endowment will be
used for the purpose that you designate,
consistent with The Chaplaincy policies.

Planned
Gifts (Wills)
By taking such a step now, you can provide a
lasting benefit to the future work of The Chaplaincy.
Always seek
professional legal help in drawing up your Will.
-
Remembering the
The Chaplaincy in your Will: No matter how big or how small, we all have a
right to plan how our estate is to be distributed after our death.
You may choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a fixed percentage of
your estate, or you can designate that the balance (residue) of the
estate be left to a charitable organization such as the The
Chaplaincy, after you have provided for selected individuals. By
making provisions now to remember the The Chaplaincy in your
will, you are ensuring that your generosity to those in need, lives on
after you.
All it requires is a
simple sentence in your Will such as: “I
bequeath $____ or ____% of my estate to the Tri-Cities
Chaplaincy.”
-
Other options for your
estate: To
learn about deferred or planned gifts, such as life-income plans,
charitable remainders trusts etc, we encourage you to meet with your
attorney and financial advisor to determine if such a plan could meet
both your financial and philanthropic needs.
A plaque on the wall in the
Hospice House memorializes a
loved one forever.
