Beneficiary Designation Gifts

If you are like most people, you probably will not use all of your retirement assets during your lifetime. You can make a gift of your unused retirement assets to help further our mission.

Making a gift by designating Renown Health Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial account is one of the easiest and most flexible ways you can leave a gift to Renown Health Foundation that will make a lasting impact.

Benefits of gifts made by beneficiary designation

  • Simplify your planning
  • Support the causes that you care about
  • Continue to use your account as long as you need to
  • Heirs can instead receive tax-advantaged assets from the estate
  • Receive potential estate tax savings from an estate tax deduction

How to make a gift by beneficiary designation

To leave a gift to Renown Health Foundation by beneficiary designation, you will need to contact your retirement plan custodian or administrator, life insurance company, or financial institution and complete the beneficiary designation form or "payable on death" form provided. Follow the instructions provided on how to return the form and memorialize your beneficiary designation.

Future gifts from your retirement assets

Did you know that 40%-60% of your retirement assets may be taxed if you leave them to your heirs at your death? Another option is to leave your heirs assets that receive a step up in basis, such as real estate and stock, and give the retirement assets to Renown Health Foundation. As a charity, we are not taxed upon receiving an IRA or other retirement plan assets. You can use the "Make a Future Gift of Retirement Assets" tool to contact your retirement plan custodian and designate a future gift to Renown Health Foundation.
