The AHCD names the person who will have legal authority to make decisions about your medical care if you are unable to make these decisions yourself. What and How You Can Give Donors are the lifeblood of a community fund. A variety of gifts can be given to the Tri-Valley Community Fund and they can be given in a variety of ways. Outright gifts are given for the immediate benefit of the community. Bequests are gifts made as a part of a will.
Bequests can be a specified dollar amount or a percentage of the donor's estate.
Some donors see this as a good way to establish a legacy for the community while minimizing federal estate taxes. The donor can direct a bequest to an area of specific interest or to a specific organization. The use of life insurance for tax-advantaged charitable giving is becoming increasingly popular. With relatively small, yearly, tax-deductible contributions, you can leverage a substantial legacy that will pass to the Fund upon your death. Each year you pay the annual premium, which is fully deductible as a charitable contribution.
