You can shape a stronger, healthier Coatesville community.

In the Greater Coatesville area, with some of Chester County’s poorest neighborhoods, our children, seniors, adults and youth lack the quality healthcare, mental health, behavioral health and social support services that they need.

Your single act of generosity will make a real difference. Your donations to help with general operating expenses for our grant partners will help support our community during this unprecedented time and will impact disenfranchised families for generations to come.

Join Us in Our Challenge Grant
One Donation – Twice the Impact!

Please join the dozens of individuals throughout Chester County who have already contributed to the Brandywine Health Foundation’s Healthcare and
Economic Relief Fund. We are proud to announce that the Foundation is matching gifts raised on a rolling basis.

Our first round of Rapid-Release one-time grants were approximately $6,700 awarded to twenty nonprofit organizations.
We raised $175,000 and matched $175,000 and so far, granted over $125,000 in grants.
With your help we will continue to match dollar for dollar up to an additional $25,000 in gifts to the Healthcare and Economic Relief Fund for a total fund of $350,000.
In addition, we are adding $350,000 to the fund. This will enable us to provide a total of $500,000 in grants in our Recovery Phase.
If we successfully meet our initial challenge, we will deploy $700,000 through our Healthcare & Economic Relief Fund.

Please help our community survive this unprecedented health and economic crisis. Make Your Donation Today!

100% of your contribution will be put to work right away with no
administrative fees subtracted from your generous gift.

For many of us, there is a compelling need to make a difference—to leave a lasting impact on the people most dear to us and the world in which we live. Philanthropy is an expression of your generosity with the understanding that your gift to us can make a significant impact here in the greater Coatesville area, a community where there is great need but also great promise.

There are many ways in which you can make a gift to further our important work and help create a strong, healthy, and vibrant Coatesville Community.

What kind of legacy will you leave?

Planned giving is a way to integrate your personal, financial and estate planning goals. The right planned gift may provide you with tax and income benefits while helping our organization further its mission. Here are two of the most common planned gifts you can make:

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.

A current Estate Plan is vital to making sure your wishes are carried out and can help you leave a lasting personal legacy. It’s easy to get started. With just a little planning you can have peace of mind knowing you have taken care of your family and secured their future. To assist you with making or updating your future plans, we can provide you with our FREE Planning Your Legacy wills guide. Many of our supporters have found this guide useful in helping them think through their goals. To obtain a copy, please contact us.
