Retirement Plan

Contact our Gift Planning Officers

A retirement plan gift helps our donors support our hospital's activities while avoiding "double taxation" from their individual retirement accounts (IRAs), 401(k)s, deferred compensation plans, or pension plans. These retirement plans are included in an individual's estate for federal estate tax purposes and are taxed as income to the recipients (at times at rates as high as 70%).

Many individuals choose to designate their IRA funds to make charitable gifts at the time of their death, since the value of the IRA will provide a charitable deduction for federal estate tax purposes, and the contribution to the charitable beneficiary is exempt from income tax.

If you are interested in using an IRA or similar retirement account to make a planned gift to Childrens Hospital, please consult your tax advisor to assure that you are complying with all requirements in designating beneficiaries, and to assure that you are achieving your intended estate planning goals.

NOTE: Although the information set forth herein is believed to be accurate, you should consult your attorney or other tax advisor prior to taking any action.
