WAYS TO GIVE

Connect your hope with a generous gift

HG Foundation believes being informed, having choices, and excellent care through end of life enables grace, honor, and dignity. It gives families peace of mind. Your gifts touch all of Monterey and San Benito Counties through education, grant funding, and partnerships.

Staying abreast of current local needs and nationwide trends, HG Foundation focuses on strategic local investments and improved systems of care for end of life. Our annual grantmaking encourages excellence through innovation, relevant programming, and accountability. Unique to HG Foundation is the impartial ability to bring together care providers in collaboratives like Juntos con Esperanza (Together with Hope), or the Monterey County Palliative Care Collaborative (MCPCC) to work together to improve services and advocate for the best patient care possible in Monterey and San Benito Counties.

Thank you for your gift.

Gifts made in honor or memory of loved ones can be especially meaningful. What better way to say, “I am thinking of you” or “Congratulations” to those you hold dear than with a gift to HG Foundation in their name or the name of someone they love.

So often people tell stories of the amazing ‘angels’ that were part of their loved ones’ end-of-life experience. Think about the nurse or social worker whose skill and compassion helped you through your journey; the doctor who helped the family understand the serious diagnosis; the chaplain who offered comfort and solace, or the quiet volunteer who sat vigil at a loved one’s bedside. Tributes include personalized notification of your gift to the honoree or to their loved ones.

Monthly donors, called Champions of Hope, are some of our most passionate and dedicated advocates. In joining Champions of Hope, you say “yes” to ensuring that individuals and their families can depend on access to professional and compassionate resources and care through end of life. Even the smallest monthly gift can make an immense impact over the course of a year, and Champions receive special benefits for participating.

 

Your gift of appreciated stock or securities can be easily made by direct transfer between brokerage accounts. Your charitable deduction is the fair market value of the stock on date of transfer, and you eliminate paying capital gains tax on the difference between the current value and the original cost of the stock. General instructions on transferring stock to HG Foundation and downloadable templates may be found below.

From our very beginning, planned gifts have helped to sustain Hospice Giving Foundation. Your planned gift will strengthen end-of-life care in our community, making a difference well into the future, and enroll you in HG Foundation’s Legacy Circle, a special recognition society.

Planned gifts can take on many forms depending on your financial and philanthropic goals. Gifts can be made while you are living or through your estate. Planned gifts include bequests, charitable trusts, gifts of retirement plan assets, gifts of life insurance policies, and gifts of tangible personal property. We would be pleased to work with you and your advisors to structure a gift that best fulfills your charitable goals. It’s never too soon to be intentional about the legacy you will leave. Start making your plans today. Learn more here or call us at 831-333-9023 to talk about your plans and options.
