Give smarter. Make a lasting impact.
Planned giving allows you to support Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation in ways that align with your financial goals, reduce taxes, and ensure your generosity makes the greatest difference over time.
Ways to give smarter
We offer flexible planned giving options designed to fit into your life and goals. If you have any questions about how you can give smarter reach out to our team at giving@rmchildren.org.
Did you know that we accept stock gifts? When you donate appreciated stock directly, you can avoid paying the capital gains tax you would incur if you sold the stock first and then donated it. This option can increase the value of your contribution by up to 20%.
If you’re interested in contributing through stocks, we’re happy to assist you in the process. To initiate the transfer, please email giving@rmchildren.org with the following details:
- Your name
- Transfer date
- Stock name and number of shares
- Purpose of the gift
- Any other relevant information
Your efforts in providing this information will help us accurately and promptly process your donation.
By naming RMCHF as a beneficiary in your estate plan, you can help ensure future generations benefit from our shared vision. Provide the following sample language to your estate planning attorney to include RMCHF in your will or trust:
“I give and devise to Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation (Tax ID #26-3839761) [percentage, specific amount, or asset] to be used for its general support [or to support a specific fund and/or program].”
Life insurance policies can be a valuable asset to donate to charity, either through an outright gift or beneficiary designation. By naming RMCHF as the owner and beneficiary of the insurance contract, each premium payment made becomes tax-deductible as a charitable gift if you itemize your contributions.
Alternatively, you can contribute to RMCHF through a beneficiary designation on your policyholder’s form, allowing you to support causes you care about without affecting your current financial situation.
Designating RMCHF as a beneficiary of financial accounts—including retirement accounts, stock and investment accounts, bank accounts, and others—can make an incredible long-term difference without writing a check today.
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account set up to support nonprofit organizations. Individuals can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets and receive an immediate tax deduction. Funds are invested for tax-free growth, and individuals can recommend donations to nonprofits over time. DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle due to their ease and tax advantages.
The Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a popular life-income gift. By donating $10,000 or more in cash or securities to RMCHF, we provide guaranteed, fixed lifetime income to you and/or a loved one. When the contract ends, the remainder supports RMCHF’s mission.
While we appreciate all monetary and planned gifts, we are currently unable to accept property or other valuable assets not listed above as donations.
