Endowment Fund
What is an endowment?
An endowment is like a community savings account. It provides a source of income, now, as well as in the future, to support Valley County Health System, over and above revenues generated by patient care.
The endowment's principal is never used, so your gift remains in place forever! Each year, a portion of the endowment's earnings is used to supplement Valley County Health System revenues. This ensures that central Nebraskans will have access to high-quality healthcare for generations to come.
Ways to Make Your Legacy Gift for a Healthy Community!
Bequest by Will: You can make a charitable gift by designating a percentage or a specific dollar amount of your estate. This type of gift qualifies for the charitable estate tax deduction.
Beneficiary Designations: Many financial accounts, CDs, mutual funds, annuities and life insurance policies allow you to make a charitable gift using beneficiary designations.
Appreciated Property: Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and real property qualify for a charitable income tax deduction, avoid capital gains taxes and reduce potential estate taxes.
Retirement Plans: You can make a charitable gift using the beneficiary designation of your IRA, 401(K) or other retirement plan. This type of gift avoids estate and income taxation on the assets accumulated tax-free during your lifetime.
Gifts of Life: Insurance Life insurance offers flexible ways to make a charitable gift of an existing or new policy.
Gifts that Provide Income: You can make a gift now, get immediate tax benefits, ensure that you or a loved one receives income payments for life and make a future charitable gift.
