Planned Giving

Support for children and their families for years to come

Planned giving creates a lasting impact for Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation (RMCHF). Where annual gifts help meet needs today, planned giving is an opportunity for you to support children and families for years to come.

Learn more about the various ways you can make these legacy charitable donations below.

Did you know that we accept stock gifts? 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.

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.

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.

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].”

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.

While we appreciate all monetary and planned gifts, we are currently unable to accept property or other valuable assets not listed above as donations.
