You don’t have to be Warren Buffett or Bill Gates to make a significant difference in the lives of others. Consider these cashless ways to support Hospice & Palliative CareCenter.
Open a POD account. A payable on death account is a regular bank account that names a person or charity as beneficiary of that account once the account holder dies.
Why it’s smart: Legal hassles can be avoided, and your favorite cause has resources to continue its important work.
Name Hospice & Palliative CareCenter as beneficiary of retirement plan assets. When your retirement plan assets are paid to individuals at your death, income taxes will be assessed to that individual. But a tax-exempt charity such as Hospice & Palliative CareCenter can inherit the assets without paying taxes.
Why it’s smart: You are able to turn your most tax-heavy assets into tax-free assets while making a difference in the lives of others.
Name Hospice & Palliative CareCenter as beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Your need for life insurance most likely declines with age, increasing its popularity as a charitable gift.
Why it’s smart: Your favorite cause receives a generous gift in the future without you having to give up assets today. A gift of life insurance is also a flexible way to give, because you are able to adjust your plans at any time throughout your lifetime.
A gift through a POD account or by beneficiary designation can make a profound impact in furthering our mission to provide compassionate health care. It won’t cost you a dime during your lifetime—and may just make you feel like a million bucks.

For most family caregivers, frustration and guilt are common, as is anxiety. These feelings are normal and reasonable under the circumstances. And it’s not realistic to eliminate negative emotions. Caring for an ailing family member IS emotionally taxing, especially in the case of memory loss.
