Legacy Giving

Legacy giving is a meaningful way to give that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date. Commonly donated through a will or trust, legacy gifts are most often granted once the donor has passed away.

Bequests

Bequests are flexible and may be changed with your life circumstances. You are able to retain control of the asset during your life while also benefiting Vidant Health by leaving a legacy.

Gift Annuity

A gift annuity is a special type of donation that allows you to support Vidant Health while providing regular income payments to you or someone you designate.

Charitable Remainder Trust

A charitable remainder trust offers benefits including a new income, tax benefits and the ability to make a significant impact on your community during your lifetime.

Retirement

Assets held in a qualified retirement plan have never been subject to income tax. Gifts to charitable organizations at death can reduce tax and the amount to family beneficiaries.

Life Insurance

A donor may made a life insurance gift to the Vidant Health Foundation either by designating the Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of the policy or by designating a portion of the proceeds.

Real Estate

Gifts of real estate may be your principal residence or vacation home, farmland, commercial real estate or unimproved land.
