  • Outright Gift of an Asset
    If you wish to make a gift to support the Brandywine Health Foundation this year but are concerned about preserving your cash resources, consider a gift of an appreciated asset. A gift of securities, business interests or real estate can provide you with significant income and capital gains tax savings, often exceeding the benefits of a cash gift.
  • IRA Charitable Rollover
    Congress made permanent the law that allows people age 70½ or older who own an IRA to make cash gifts directly from their IRA to charity. For many people, this is the best tax-wise way to give. An IRA rollover gift will not be included in your taxable income and will qualify for your required minimum distribution.For more information on becoming a member of our legacy society or to discuss a planned gift, contact us at 610-380-9080 or via email.
