Matching gifts occur when a company matches the charitable contribution of an employee to a nonprofit organization. If you (or your spouse) work for a matching gift company, your gift may be doubled, or even tripled. The matching gift procedure is very simple. The employee receives a matching gift form from their human resources department. After completing the form, the employee sends it along with their gift to Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice. (You may also send in the form after you have made the gift.) Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice confirms receipt of the gift and that it meets the company’s guidelines for receiving a matching gift. Upon completion, the hospice will return the form to your company or designee. For more information, please call our office at 920-467-1800.

Gifts of appreciate securities may offer you significant tax savings. To learn more about this option, please consult with your financial advisor or contact our office at 920-467-1800.

Charitable bequests – a gift made from an estate, after death, or as a result of instructions outlined in a will, are a lasting legacy of your support. Bequests can be of a specific dollar amount, a specific asset or assets or for a percentage of an estate. If you choose to give a gift to Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice through your will, you can make your bequest available for our immediate use or you may restrict it to our investment account. Gifts made to the investment account do allow for the investment earnings to fulfill the stated purpose of the gift. The proper way to list SSRCH in your estate is: Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice, W2850 State Rd 28, Sheboygan Falls, WI 53085.

If you have or are planning on including the hospice in your will, please call or write our office and let us know.

Charitable trusts are another option for donors who wish to make a current or deferred gift to Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice but are concerned about retaining an income from the asset. Charitable trusts can provide donors with regular cash payments, current charitable income tax deduction, avoidance or reduction of estate taxes and elimination of money-management concerns. 

*Giving through such arrangements can be a meaningful way to blend your philanthropic goals with your personal financial and tax-planning needs. Charitable trusts are set up through an outside advisor such as through a trust department of a bank. It is important that you let us know if Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice is a beneficiary of a trust agreement so we may thank you and recognize your gift appropriately.

Sometimes people no longer need a life insurance policy they purchased when they were younger to protect a growing family and/or they have accumulated ample assets necessary to meet day-to-day financial demands. In this case, the cash value of a life insurance policy as a charitable gift may make sense. Donors may also establish new cash value policies on themselves and deduct the premiums as long as Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice is named owner and beneficiary of the policy. For more information on making a charitable gift through life insurance, please call our office at 920-467-1800.
