Ways to Give
May those who have gifted in life be forever blessed.
Gifts to The Seasons Fund
You and your family can support The Seasons Fund, our annual giving campaign, with an outright gift of cash, check or credit card and receive a tax deduction for your charitable contribution. Gifts to The Seasons Fund are utilized for various uses as approved by our Board of Directors. These include providing financial assistance for residents who may have exhausted their financial resources and wish to remain at The Seasons. In addition, your gift may be used to enhance the daily activities for our residents and may also be used for improvements in our building.
Gifts to The Seasons Legacy Society
The Legacy society offers an opportunity for individuals and families to show support for our mission, or to express personal gratitude for the quality of life they or a loved one has enjoyed at The Seasons. Contributions can be made in honor of, or in memory of, a loved one, current resident, former resident, Seasons staff member, or designee of choice. All donations of $1,000 or more will be recognized on The Legacy Plaques located in two areas on the first floor of The Seasons.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated stocks, bond, and mutual funds to The Seasons allow you to make a contribution and deduct the full market value of the security at the time of the gift. You can avoid capital gains tax on qualified assets for charitable use. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to The Seasons.
Gifts by Will
Bequests are contributions made through your will. Bequests of any size can be earmarked for a specific purpose or earmarked for The Seasons Fund or Legacy Society. A bequest may be a specific piece of property, sum of money or a percentage of your estate. By including The Seasons in your will, you can establish a lasting legacy. If you are interested in including The Seasons in your will, the administrative staff has specific sample language you can provide to your attorney for this purpose.
Life-Income Gifts
- Charitable Gift Annuity
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract under which The Seasons, in return for a transfer of cash, marketable securities or other assets, agrees to pay a fixed amount of money to one or two individuals, for their lifetime. The fixed amount is set by the American Council on Gift Annuities and is based on the annuitant's age. Because the gift is irrevocable, The Seasons maintains control of the gift and becomes responsible for paying income for the lifetime of each annuitant. - Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is attractive to donors with highly appreciated assets and allows you, as the donor, to irrevocably transfer assets into a trust. The trust pays income to you or other beneficiaries during their lifetimes, and the remainder is earmarked to The Seasons. - Charitable remainder trusts may be established during your lifetime or at death. You can name a bank or trust company to serve as trustee of the trust.
Beneficiary Designations
You may designate The Seasons as a beneficiary of retirement plan assets or life insurance. You may change the beneficiary on an existing retirement plan or insurance policy or purchase a term policy designating The Seasons as beneficiary.
