Charitable gift planning

Charitable gift annuities

A charitable gift annuity is one of the easiest philanthropic techniques available and consists of a basic, simple contract between you and our organization. In exchange for an irrevocable gift of an asset or cash from you, we will make payments to you (and another person if you choose) for your lifetime(s). The payments are stable and you can never outlive them.

Charitable gift annuities provide us with much needed financial support and allow you to leave a legacy and perpetuate your giving. You will receive lifetime payments, a charitable tax deduction, and the benefit from knowing you have helped support our mission.

Wills and estate planning

Your will is a written testimonial of your desire to provide for the well-being of family and loved ones. It is a way to show others what you value above all in life, being especially generous with the people and organizations that matter the most.

Should you decide to provide support for Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula services as part of your estate plan, there are many ways to include the hospital in your will.
