What kind of gift is right for me?
There are many types of gifts you can give. Options include:
Gifts
in Remembrance
Gifts can be given to the Foundation to memorialize friends and
loved ones, send best wishes or celebrate special occasions. The
names and occasions of those memorialized or honored are noted in
each issue of Saint Raphael's magazine,
Better Health. To make a Gift in Remembrance, please
contact the Foundation.
Outright Gifts
You may make a monetary gift by check or major credit card in whichever
way works best for you -- online,
by mail or by telephone at (203) 789-3242. These gifts may be
designated for general or specific use by the Hospital or the Sister Anne Virginie Grimes Health Center.
Annual Appeal
The Saint Raphael Foundation conducts an annual appeal to support
the most important needs of the Hospital and Saint Regis. To participate,
please contact the Foundation.
Gifts of Securities and Appreciated Property
Donors may also choose to make gifts of stocks, bonds or the revenue
generated from the sale of real estate. For details on how to make
these types of gifts, please consult
the Foundation.
Pledges
Donors have the option of pledging gifts payable to the Foundation
over multiple-year periods. The most commonly used pledges range
from three to five years. For details, please
contact the Foundation.
Wills and Bequests
You may decide to leave some part or all of your estate to the Saint
Raphael Foundation in your will. Bequests are an excellent option
for those want to pledge their support for Saint Raphael's today,
but cannot part with substantial assets during their lifetime. For
details on how to make a bequest, please
contact the Foundation.
Planned Giving/Saint Raphael's Charitable Gift
Annuity Program
 The
Foundation encourages you to speak with your financial advisor about
income-producing gifts such as lead and remainder trusts. Saint
Raphael's has employees and professional advisors to assist you
should you need financial advice.
Saint Raphael's administers its own charitable gift annuity program
which is a planned giving vehicle that provides a steady income
stream to you or your designee based on your age and the amount
of your gift.
Gifts of Life Insurance
You may name Saint Raphael's as a partial or sole beneficiary, of
your life insurance policy. This is an ideal way to use a policy
that is no longer needed by you or your spouse, or that names beneficiaries
that no longer require the future income.
For more information, please contact the Foundation at (203) 789-3242
or caringbygiving@srfinc.org.
