Memorial and Tribute Gifts

When an individual suffers the loss of a loved one or is facing the decisions associated with the end of their life, planning is a good choice.  Expressing the gratitude by extending a financial gift in honor of the individual, or care received or the life long relationship with an organization are positive ways to honor a life and the contributions made during times of health and those of difficulty. 

There are many options available to those who have the desire to give.  You may work with your own legal representative or you may contact MHC Health Care Development Office to explore how you would like to make a contribution to MHC healthcare.

Estate Plans

A good estate plan will help you anticipate the future and manage the present. It is in your best interest and in the interest of your heirs to make sure that your intentions are clear. 

Estate planning is usually not a do-it-yourself project. You’ll be faced with critical decisions that only a professional estate planner can help you make. Simply defined, estate planning is the process of thoughtfully providing for the efficient transfer of your assets to your heirs and charitable interests in accordance with your wishes. It is a testament that affirms not only how your estate will be distributed, but also what kind of a legacy you will leave behind and the impact it will have for future generations.

Estate planning is not just for the rich or older people. Everyone should do it. It can begin with the simplicity of writing a will, but it can also involve trusts, changing beneficiaries of life insurance policies and retirement accounts, selecting guardians for minor children, providing lifetime income for yourself and others, minimizing taxes and other estate settlement costs or passing on business interests and providing for your charitable interests. Simply stated, a good estate plan is one that guarantees all your final wishes will be faithfully executed, providing you with peace of mind while providing your beneficiaries with the assets you wanted them to inherit.

Estate plans are not just for older people or for those with significant financial resources, they’re for anybody and everybody who cares about the continuation of their financial commitments even after they themselves are no longer around.

These commitments may include:

• Securing the future financial welfare of your surviving spouse.
• Providing for the support or special needs of your children or grandchildren, especially minors with costly illnesses or disabilities.
• Providing or continuing support to your favorite non-profit organization.
• Avoiding lawsuits, personal resentment and general confusion by making your intentions clear to your survivors.
• Preserving your privacy. Once the estate is opened the will becomes public, and a good  estate plan can keep prying eyes from otherwise invading your family’s private business.

Gifts in Kind

Often corporations, small businesses and individuals have the opportunity to donate, materials, equipment or services which have a tremendous positive impact on the overall patient/client experience.  MHC Healthcare is expanding services and reaching out to those in need in our communities.  The means which enables the staff, providers, and volunteers to provide services may come in a variety of forms.  Medical equipment, transportation services and/or vehicles, medical consultation, training expertise, information technology resources and a vast untapped list of ideas you and your organization can explore with the MHC Healthcare Development office.

Workplace Giving-make a match and make a difference

Building corporate culture often includes an element of corporate citizenship.  Organizations may choose to support a non-profit for a defined period of time or for a special event.  MHC Healthcare hosts many events and also seeks to build relationships with strategic partners who share in the mission of community service.  If you and your organization are interested in exploring how to design a workplace giving initiative where your company matches the donations of your employees, please contact the MHC Development  Office
