Transform Healthcare as Your Legacy!

Why Make a Legacy Gift?

 
People give for different reasons. For some it’s a way to show appreciation for the care that they, or a loved-one, have received. For others, it’s the very personal satisfaction that comes from the act of giving itself.
 
A legacy gift to Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation makes a powerful statement that you care about the future of health care in our community. This type of giving is a way to show that commitment now, without affecting your income today. By incorporating a legacy gift into your will or estate plan using one of legacy gift options below, you can make sure that our important work continues.
 

Types of Legacy Gifts 
Each of these options can provide a significant tax advantage. The Foundation recommends donors seek legal and financial planning advice when making such a gift.
