Types of giving
There are a number of ways to make a tax deductible gift to Syringa Hospital Foundation.

Gifts of Cash
Gifts of cash, checks, money orders, bank drafts or currency are a popular and convenient way to make a contribution.

Gifts of Securities
Securities (stocks and bods) held more than 12 months entitle the donor to a dedcution for the fair market value on the date of contribution.

Gifts of Real Estate
Almost any kind of real property can be given as a gift to SGHF. The fair market value of the property is deductible as a charitable contribution and, in many cases, tax on the capital gain can be avoided and the amount of the taxable estate will be reduced by the value of the gift.

Gifts of Life Insurance
SGHF can be named as the owner and beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. Either party may pay the premiums.

Gifts in Trust
Charitable remainder trusts provide both immediate income tax deduction and later estate tax deduction. There are many types of trusts available.

Bequests
Charitable bequests, or instructions in your will that a certain portion of your estate be given to SGHF, are means to provide meaningful gifts without diminishing assets during your lifetime.
